~~~ Autumn Lady ~~~

A few days ago into our town

Came a lady in a lovely gown

And a matching hat of red,

Gold, and velvet brown.

 

With her, from out on the plain

She brought clouds and wind and rain

A hint of cold and then a frost

And then gentle blossoms were lost

 

Leaves tumbled from the trees

As did the thermometer’s degrees

Not for a moment did she refrain

From reminding all of the coming pain

of Winter’s slow approach……………..

Autumn was not a lady.…
