This Autumn Crypt

I crept right in, post Summer's stay
You see, it's always been that way
Tween life and death, I fill the crypt
As summer's luscious green is gripped
By ashen fields and dying leaves
That fall from shrubs and stately trees
To gift my days with brilliant glow-
Before I rest neath Winter snow
