Take out the scarf, put on the hat
We’re going into fall
The seasons change and that is that
It’s time for gloves and shawl.
**
The leaves have changed, they all fall down
To the frosty ground
From yellow, red and dusty brown
And they don’t make any sound.
**
The grass is damp, the air is cool
fog crawls up in sight.
We’re wearing knitted warming wool
Over are short sleeves and light.
**
The darkness creeps quite early now
into every day
we expect frost and cool and vow
we’ll move in warmer lands to stay.
**
Winter walks into our lands
With big expansive strides
the cold bites softly our hands
when snow covers, protects and hides.
**
These are the last of autumn’s days
Enjoy the warming sun
Soon, nature freezes, and it stays
Until new buds in spring bring joy and fun.
