by Rosamund Marriott Watson (1860 - 1911)
Autumn song
Language: English
See the leaves are falling, Summer's dream is over, Gone beyond recalling, Dead leaves lie above her. Our dream too is dying- With the winter flowers, See, the leaves are flying Through the wind-swept bowers. Summer birds have left us, Our farewell forestalling, Ere the hour bereft us, See, the leaves are falling.
