AUTUMN GOLD, by                    
First Line: A gust of wind, and down they come
Last Line: Has changed to autumn gold.
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall


A gust of wind, and down they come,
'Tis snowing autumn leaves;
A fleece of gold lies on the ground,
But it is safe from thieves.

They flutter here and flutter there,
The air is filled with gold;
They drift in heaps against the wall,
And cover up its mold.

A yellow splash against the blue --
A lonely cottonwood,
'Twill soon be stripped of glory grand --
But that is understood.

The world that bloomed in summertime,
A beauty to behold,
With Midas touch of Jack Frost's hand,
Has changed to Autumn Gold.
