Autumn
By Scott Bailey © 2014
Autumn is the fireThat leaves us dark and cold
Watching all our dreams
Burn in red and gold Closing up our houses
Sealing up each door
Skeletons branch out
As death bedecks the floor So hideaway the grain
Shut up all the stores
Be frugal with your food
As the autumn fire roars For soon will come the snow
And the biting winter frost
And the long dark nights of cold
Where hope and warmth are lost So quicken please the fire
That leaves us in the cold
Hurry please the spring
That starts this wheel so old This was as a part of a collaboration project which you can find here
