Arrayed In robes of beauty
Most glorious to my sight.

But why do I sigh Ger the death

Whilst there are such bright charms

In October's sunny hours9
The summer birds no longer sing
Where oft they joined In glee,
Filling the air with melody
From the top Of the old oak tree.

AS 1t passes gently by,

And like the sweet flowers, die.

For we must all fade and die.
