There is such a beauty in d e c a y i n g flowers,
charm, allure and splendor in summer showers.
Murmuring in the fields and my drooping garden,
oh, a sweet melody of u t t e r total abandon.
Lovely, my horse forages in a meadow of yarrow,
soon these fields will be snow covered, oh sorrow.
Yet, there is a deep tranquility in changing leaves,
gold, red and yellow s t o l e n by wind thieves.
And that first perfect snowflake of l a c e filigree,
cold, crisp- me and my horse will fly with jubilee.
But, although the flowers are fading- crumbling,
there is time for delicate summer blooms tumbling.
Today, I found within my sad garden, a r e d rose,
it made me w e e p that soon summer will repose.
