                It’s time to let the summer go –

                To allow the autumn winds to blow.

                 It’s the season to shake off the leaves;

                 To find a home for harvest sheaves.

                 

                It’s time to let in the misty morns

                Draw sharp back the awakening dawn;

                 Time to drop the ripening fruits

                 Send migrating birds upon their routes.

                 

                Clear up the leaves, plant bulbs for spring.

                At Thanksgiving services loudly sing –

                 Thank God for autumn’s golden glow

                 Forerunner to the winter’s snow.
