Under an autumn sky,
My love dropped into my bosom,
Quietly, quietly.
There was not ray of sunshine
And not sound in the air,
As she trembled into my bosom-
Ny love, no longer fair.
All year round in her beauty
She dwelt in the tree-top high;
She danced in the summer breezes,
She laughed to the summer sky.

She sat so high above;
She never visit of my longing,
She never dreamed of my love.
But when winds laid bare her dwelling,
And her heart could find no rest,
! called, and she nultered downward
Into my faithful breast.
know that my love is fading
know that cannot fold
Her fragrance from the frost blight,
Her beauty from the mold.
But little, little longer
She shall contcnted be,
And wilher away in the sunshine,
Silently, silently.
Come when thou wilt, grim winter,
My year is crowned and blest,
If when my love is dying
She die upon my breast.
