Autumn Lullaby

 Autumn Lullaby

Come o nature of autumn breeze
Rest your head upon the golden leaves
Your fruitful toil of summer, fulfilled
With the sun, soil, and water
To the life-giving seeds
Grown to nurture man and beast.   
 

Now it's time, rest your weary days
Set for the long nights ahead
Pull the darkness over naked limbs
Seek a warm abode to sleep
Happily dream among the stars beyond
Of green pastures and berries abound.   
 

Now the cold wind of autumn brings
Nudge of the season to rest and sleep
Nature's promise to revive
And the joy of being alive
Soon to rouse you to the hope
Of all that is so revered.
