Autumnal Flame

Vistas of autumnal flame set the fiery meadows afire
Where song of the winds wheezes in auburn breeze
And gold, red, brown whispers kindle tunes of a lyre
Rustling in cool air, melodies of leaves, falling from trees 

Where song of the winds wheezes in auburn breeze
Pumpkin dreams meet to greet tricks of Halloween treat
Rustling in cool air, melodies of leaves, falling from trees 
As carpets of crimson colors crunch beneath eager feet

Pumpkin dreams meet to greet tricks of Halloween treat
And gold, red, brown whispers kindle tunes of a lyre
As carpets of crimson colors crunch beneath eager feet,
Vistas of autumnal flame set the fiery meadows afire
