The Bells of Autumn

THE   BELLS OF  AUTUMN   

The leaves  will slowly fall away
After the harvest’s end is nigh  
Now  soon the winter comes to stay
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky

We  rest and gather  fruits around
And smile with thanks : our relief we sigh
The nuts, the seeds in the  barn abound
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky

The leaves are gold, the days are cold
The  Halloween fire flares up high
There’s  joyous stories to be told
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky
