Autumn's Song

When all the leaves fall from the trees
Lightly swirling on the breeze
It’s then that autumn comes to call
To welcome in the days of fall

Painting every leaf in sight
With all her colors bold and bright
Upon her frosty steed she’ll ride
To crisply kiss the countryside

She sings a tender sweet refrain
That ripens all the golden grain
Her lovely charms are soon revealed
On orange pumpkins in the field

With every golden note she sings
Another wondrous sight she brings
A song composed of nature’s art
That stirs the soul and moves the heart

Then as her song comes to an end
One final verse she’ll softly send
To let the woodland creatures know
That very soon are days of snow

Before cold winds of winter sweep
She’ll sing the countryside to sleep
Throughout the winter days so long
They’ll sleep and dream of autumn’s song
