Fall Country

          I love this country in the fall,           When hazy sky hangs over all           And in October's chilling air,           I watch for spots of color, where,           The aspens spill their golden tide           In surges, down the mountainside.           It's then the cricket sings his song           Beneath my window all day long           And maple trees turn orange and red.           The flowers in their summer bed,           All fade away and go to sleep.           The squirrels with athletic leap           From tree to tree, complete their store           Of winter food, then look for more,           Until one morning, they decide           It's time for them to stay inside           The cosy nest they have prepared.           The bounty of our field is shared           With family and neighbors too           And now there's nothing left to do,           But just enjoy each passing day,           Before the autumn slips away.
