AUTUMN NIGHTS

THE NIGHTS ARE BEGINNING TO TURN MUCH COOLER

THAN THEY WERE DURING THE HOT SUMMER WINDS.

THE LEAVES ARE DANCING IN THEIR NEW TUTUS OF COLOR.

THEY ARE TURNING, DIPPING, LIGHTLY TRIPPING, DANCING AGAIN AND

AGAIN.

THE NIGHTS OF AUTUMN ARE FILLED WITH THE WONDER

OF THE WINDS, THE SKY, THE MOON, AND THE STARS.

ALL THESE GLORIOUS ENTITIES ARE PLAYING THEIR MUSIC IN UNISON,

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, BAR AFTER BAR.

THE MOON SINGS HIS SONG AS HE MOVES ACROSS THE HEAVENS

AND CROONS TO THE LOVERS 'ROUND THE WORLD,

THE STARS JOIN IN WITH THE LOVERS' CHORUS,

AND THE WIND DANCES ACROSS THEIR SWEET CURLS.

AUTUMN NIGHTS ARE FILLED WITH THE MAGIC OF

CHANGES COMING EVERY NEW MOON,

FROM BRILLIANT COLORS AND WAFTING WINDS

TO NO COLOR AND BLIZZARDS TOO HARD AND TOO SOON.

YET THE AUTUMN NIGHTS FILLED WITH NEW LOVERS

ALWAYS LEND THEIR BRILLIANCE AND THEIR SOLITUDE

TO THE LIVES THAT ARE LIVED AND THE LOVE THAT IS

GIVEN

BENEATH THAT BRILLIANT NEW HARVEST MOON.
