Sweeping her hand she re dresses the trees
Drying the leaves with effortless ease
Turning them golden then shades of red
But alas after the glory they are dead
Branches now naked ugly and bare
They reach skywards crying for air
Then autumn moves on to meet another
The coldness of winter her frigid lover
His icy breath freezing where he goes
Sweeping the land with white as it snows
The icicles on trees sparkle and twinkle
Listen carefully you hear sleigh bells tinkle
Tis the season of laughter love and good cheer
Marking the end of yet another year
Then moving aside he allows for rebirth
And spring dances in full of mirth
Her mischievous laughter melts the snow
The daff idols and crocus begin to grow
New green leaves stretch out towards the sun
And the roses know that winter is done
Baby lambs playfully frolic on the farm
And the English gardens fill with charm
Spring moves on at summer’s call
Pretending she was never there at all
He banishes night as he brings his light
The days are long and they are bright
The ground feels warm surrounded with love
And the benevolent sun smiles from above
Until autumn begins her colours to flaunt
Filling his heart with a flirtatious taunt
Blindly he follows the false trail she lays
Leaving the world open again to colder day
