Down in the meadows the sound of a calling lark 
is filling my ears with melodious sounds of beauty 
He heralds Autumn's arrival with his brave chirps   
and as his tinkling notes summon up the sunrise, 
he sings this mellifluous song of old for me ; 

The hour changes everything from hue to hue   
as I sit on that log that once held our beating hearts;
 
As a butterfly lands on a maple tree I am suddenly 
reminded, of your Autumn gait;  
I could almost see your face again
as each hour melts into a contemplative musing. 

There in the cross horizon of that beautiful meadow,
the lark quietly flies away leaving me with
indescribable thoughts of you.
