Farewell To Summer
Farewell to Summer
The yellow leaves are falling, here they lie
In drifts of golden coins across the ground
This show of beauty nature’s last goodbye
As winter’s noose is tightening around
And as the sun sinks softly out of sight
The forest stirs, the wind begins to talk
The somber trees are bathed in glittering light
Beneath the moon the restless spirits walk
Inside their houses people are afraid
They hide themselves from winter’s slow advance
Content with fireside and food they’ve made
Not I, for autumn is the time I dance
I wonder what new treasure I will find
Within the autumn forest of my mind
