The sky is like slate, down falls the rain Wetting the world with cool breaths of fall The trees of rich color, leaves all in flame Setting the contrast in the shades that I saw The color more resplendent when set against gray The beauty much more vibrant to me It's true of the season, and more I would say It's true of your features I see Your white skin so bright, so pure, and so soft Sets the colors of your body apart Topaz eyes, pink ribbon lips, dark hair set aloft You're splendid, a true work of art All these delights, are for many to view While jewels of your soul, are between me and you
