at home the green remains
Oct. 23rd, 2008 09:28 am so many trees in full and golden leaf
this changing season as the days turn cold
birds have gone south and fools have become bold
nights grow too long and sunlight is too brief
you know the story it is often told
so many trees in full and golden leaf
now swiftly falling for time's a hard thief
and eager hoarding the fast-passing gold
leaves us behind nothing that we can hold
so many trees in full and golden leaf
