The trees that were in summer decked
All lincoln green,
How bare they are! how bare!
On the barren scene.

The trees that hummed their leafy song
Caught from their nesting guest,
How lone they are! how lone!
So gauntly dressed.

Like unto the love of youth
That decks and sings,
Unknowing the autumn winds
Of chill, bleak things
Will make of all so dear beheld
Imploring, saddened arms of eld.
