Autumn is Losing Her Rich Golden Store

"The flowers are fading, the trees getting bare,

And thin frosty vapours are chilling the air,

For nature is losing her mantle of green,

And now in a rusty-brown robe may be seen.

The beauties of summer are faded and past,

And the sweet, balmy breeze is exchanged for the blast,

And Autumn is losing her rich golden store,

And Winter, grim Winter, is coming once more..."
