AUTUMN SONG, by                    
First Line: A little wind will loosen now
Last Line: What took so little, gave so much.
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall


A little wind will loosen now
The apples that have bent the bough.

A falling leaf along the wall
Will make the cobweb ladder fall.

The smallest wing that moves across
The pasture starts a flight of floss.

The lightest step will stir today
A fragrance that will drift away.

And not a day or heart can hold
This golden light, this dust of gold...

Tread softly, love; each step will touch
What took so little, gave so much.
