(Autumn Song)

  Chill breezes moaning are
  Where leaves hang yellow:
  O'er the grey hills afar
  Flies the last swallow;
To come again, my love, to come again
  Blithe with the summer.
But Ah! the long months ere we welcome then
  That bright new comer.

  Cold lie the flowers and dead
  Where leaves are falling.
  Meekly they bowed and sped
  At Autumn's calling.
To come again, my love, to come again
  Blithe with the swallow.
Ah! might I dreaming lie at rest till then,
  Or rise and follow!

  The summer blooms are gone,
  And bright birds darting;
  Cold lies the earth forlorn;
  And we are parting.
To meet again, my love, to meet again
  In deathless greeting,
But ah! what wintry bitterness of pain
  Ere that far meeting!
