"The Changing of the Leaves."
Splendid colors of every hue
Accentuated by skies of deepest blue
Like carefree laughter of the trees
Is the changing of the leaves
The oaks unfold their acorn crop
Squirrels squirrel-away the ones that drop
They know they have no time for ease
At the changing of the leaves
The white-tailed buck deer seeks a mate
He shakes his head and makes a scrape
With eager eyes the hunter sees
A promise in the changing leaves
The golden sun smiles gentler rays
The land is blessed with cooler days
The farmer welcomes the gypsy breeze
That accompanies the changing leaves
Bittersweet comes the end of summer-long
Like the close of a book or the end of a song
Boys and girls study ABC's
While they'd rather be playing in the leaves
For though flowers of summer are bright and lush
More resplendent still was the Artist's brush
When He uniquely painted fair Autumn's trees
And designed the changing of the leaves.
