Example
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
