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
