r. EAD leaves sft DER the forest floor
l ! Where the gray squirrel banks his beech
- store.
The crcling crow in the steel blue sky
The flock OF maards that voplane by,
The partridge king with his boastful drum.
And the thresher running with even hum,
Tell of the days that to come.
And ever with gentle signing,
The leaves dying. dying dying.
Down in the cty's and CRIME,
Down In the home OF pomp and crime.
Never a crimson leaf can fall
And Autumn is holding festival.
But dead souls sift DER the lighted streets.
Their gay gowns tapping like winding sheets.
And ever. with hopeless signing.
More souls dying dying dying
