Autumn Song
AUTUMN SONG
The leaves will slowly fall away
After the harvest work is done
Now soon the winter comes to stay
And the sky will lose its warming sun
Leaves, leaves, leaves, autumn leaves
We rest and gather fruits around
And smile with thanks : we work no more
The nuts, the seeds in the barn abound
Give thanks for the fruitful store
Leaves leaves leaves, autumn leaves
The leaves are gold, the days are cold
The Halloween fire flares up high
There’s time for stories to be told
Time to smile and no longer sigh
Leaves, leaves, leaves, autumn leaves
