Autumn Leaves
Sweep the leaves together,
yellow, brown and red.
Let us make a bonfire,
Now that they are dead.
Chestnut leaves, beech leaves,
ash, lime and oak
Fir-cones and pine needles
Kindle into smoke.
Leaves that all the summer
Gave us cool and shade.
What will be left of them,
when our bonfire's made??
Only death-like ashes.
But from the same dust
Sun one day will fashion,
Life anew, we trust!!!!
God made the beautiful
colors of Autumn!!
So sit back and enjoy all you see!
