Dear Autumn, I have waited
for you to show your face.
Through Winter, Spring, and Summer,
of you there was no trace.

Now, Autumn, I must tell you
I love those seasons too,
but with all their special dressings,
they don't compare to you.

I love your flair for color
in tones of orange and gold,
and with your crimson touches,
you're a beauty to behold!

Your paths I love to wander
on a cool and lazy day,
and I love it when the wind blows,
enticing you to play.

When pumpkins grin from windows
my heart feels so carefree,
because once again, dear Autumn,
you've come to visit me!
