*The Wind Has Shaken Autumn Down*

Wind has shaken autumn down,
left it sprawling on the ground,
shawling all in gold below,
waiting -
for
the
hush
of snow.

Walking through the autumn leaves
Scattered on the ground
Seeing the kaleidoscope
Of colors all around

Listening to the trees' song
As the wind comes rustling through...
May autumn's lovely magic
bring happiness to you.

The nicest bed that I know
Isn't a bed of soft white snow.
Isn't a bed of cool green grass
After the noisy mowers pass.
Isn't a bed of yellow hay
Making me itch for half a day
But autumn leaves in a pile that high,
Deep and smelling like fall and dry.
That's the bed where I like to lie
And watch the flutters of Fall go by.
