by Harold Simpson (1874 - 1955)

The winds are calling (Autumn)
Language: English 
The winds are calling, calling,
And the friendly voices die;
The rain is falling, falling,
From out a frowning sky;
Then let us quickly you and I
Goodbye!

If aught that I have told you
Should bring a moment's pain,
Love I will take and hold you
Within my arms again;
And press you closely to my heart
Before we part
Then let us say it quickly you and I
Goodbye!
