Autumn stretches, rubs his eyes

Spits foggy plumes and frosty sighs

His bite numbs feet and face and ears

Our breath takes flight, then disappears.

A feeble sun stoops low to drink

From rushing rivers, steals a chink

Of blushing maples, ginger breeze

Ignites a fire to tips of trees.

Soft sky strums aching air

Flings a fleece of golden glare

Clings to trees, crowns mountain pass

Turns them into amber glass.

Coppered leaves come boating down

Glide gently into molten mounds

Branches dip, flutter damp and drew

Winter soon hoves into view.
