it is cold and the flowers are dying becoming withered memories leaves are drifting and rain is falling and the river flows like a stream of glass the grass is fading and birds are flying away and the forest is taking on a sombre hue and storms shake the ocean of my sleep where my hair is soft as a spider web and my filmy dress a paling green and I stand still in this decay as a tree with my arms outstretched to the sky oh, the fine thread of summer is a fading thought yet, there is a hazy beauty all around me and within the crumbling fragile leaves soar oh, the splendor of the whirling burnt orange and red leaves spinning like weeping blood red raindrops oh, listen to the sweet chiming of falling leaves that I will hold like a blanket of memory while the wind utters low wails like a hundred violins and hidden birds sing a beautiful symphony just for me
