Autumn Leaves

The most beautiful sight this world will see
Is the autumn shades of a leafy tree.
Yellow, orange, red and gold;
Their colors stand out so gallant... So bold.

The autumn tree stands straight,
Stands tall...
Turns away none...
Offers shelter to all.
Until cruel winter winds,
The sleet, the snow
Make waste of the colors
That so brightly glow.

But I'm not downhearted, not filled with dismay,
When cold cruel winter chases autumn away.
I know the spring blossoms
And warm summer rain
Will bring autumn leaves
Back to me again.
