When Autumn Comes

 When autumn comes harvest moon glows
 Leaves transform to crimson and gold
 and the chill now withers the rose
 When autumn comes

 Leaves have fallen, a chill takes hold
 As summer sleeps where leaves repose
 Flowers weep, they can't be consoled

 A witch rides by with cackling woes
 Pumpkins  displayed, soon to be sold
 Halloween's here, the goblin knows
 When autumn comes
