Variant 2025


My Lady of Autumn, sing me your song
Play me your tune; tell me I’m wrong
Tell me you don’t mean the things that you say
Tell me that we’ll find a way.

Your eye clear as winter, your touch fresh as spring
You weigh like the summer, free as birds on the wing
The seasons are changing, it’s time you were gone
The colors of you will go on.

Fields that were golden are changing to brown
Leaves that were green now tumble to the ground
The warm sun of summer makes way for the snow
I know it’s time; you must go.

For the light, it is changing, the sky’s overcast
Winter is here now, autumn is past
And deep in this dark world, some warmth I must find
Though it’s winter in the valley- it’s still autumn in my mind.
