The winds of autumn shall soon blow
Verdant leaves that in summer show
Cascading, floating, golden-red
And make a copper-russet bed
Before it’s white with quilted snow ...
The burnished rays of autumn's glow
Will implore summer's heat to go
As falling leaves shall dance and shed
The winds of autumn...
And those sweet seeds that I shall sow
Tenderly, someday, will bloom and grow
Where hopes of life so gently tread…
As I, on earth, shall rest my head
All seasons of this life to know
The winds of autumn...

The winds of autumn shall soon blow
Verdant leaves that in summer show
Cascading, floating, golden-red
And make a copper-russet bed
Before it’s white with quilted snow ...
The burnished rays of autumn's glow
Will implore summer's heat to go
As falling leaves shall dance and shed
The winds of autumn...
And those sweet seeds that I shall sow
Tenderly, someday, will bloom and grow
Where hopes of life so gently tread…
As I, on earth, shall rest my head
All seasons of this life to know
The winds of autumn...
