The falling leaves echoes the sun's epitaph
Kissed by the cool breeze of autumn,nature
turns the pages of seasons and prepares to
write another paragraph

Days of summer sunshine halt at last
and even song comes early.The presence
of Haegthorn,hips and bramble says
summer is fading fast

Autumn nights kissed by a diaphanous moon
ignites a dampened twilight sky
Trees in prenumbral illumination
Display bare branches freshly hewn

Season of plenty and frosty mornings
flourishing colours adorning paths
Horn of Amalthea ever present
Autumn's over, winter's dawning
