Autumn

Autumn

     All dressed in her leafy gown,
     Threads of red and gold and brown,
     Autumn danced through the orchard
     And danced through the town.

     Then she told the passing breeze
     It was time for her leave
     And the listening trees
     Whispered to the leaves.

     Now Winter in snowy gown,
     Sparkling frost and icy crown,
     Dances through the orchard
     And dances through the town.
