Autumns Child

Oh autumn child, come hither now, and blow

Gentle gusts of breath, on a heavy branch

Before the winter winds bring forth the snow

Crinkled leaves, scatter on the earth below,

Here and there, they fly in a frenzied dance,

Oh autumn child, come hither now, and blow.

Forever remaining, the cosy nest of the crow,

Oblivious to the seasons, in her rigid stance,

Before the winter winds bring forth the snow.

Let the rains bring music, the earth to bestow.

To cover the leaves, making loam to enhance,

Oh autumn child, come hither now, and blow,

Shine full, bright moon, on the forest we know,

Let the winds come forth, for a final chance.

Before the winter winds bring forth the snow.

Seasons may come, and the seasons may go

Fine shades of autumn, are natures romance,

Oh Autumn child,come hither now, and blow,

Before the winter winds, bring forth the snow.
