‡
                                          ‡ It’s ‡
                                 ‡‡ Falling again ‡‡
            ‡ as Leaves Descend ‡‡‡ into Summer’s End ‡
      ‡ another Season to Begin ‡‡‡ just Me and my Friend ‡
                         ‡‡‡ down the Trail’s Bend ‡‡‡
                      ‡‡ the Bright Colors that Attend ‡‡
         ‡ are Fall’s Amends ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ for its Chilling Winds ‡
            ‡ so we’re Falling again ‡‡ as Autumn’s Glow ‡
                                           takes
                                              ‡
                                             us
