A Hymn to Autumn

This Saturday, a poem reflecting on the season....
 
A Hymn to Autumn
 
Autumn days upon the earth
Cloudy, hazy, greying skies
An acorn falling in rebirth
Over sea, the seagull cries
Sunlight shines with weakening rays
At darkening of the end of days
 
Time passing, hour by hour
Fleeting day, and not so bright
The dying back of summer's flower
Sun and moon and stars of light
The turning canopy of night
A passing of the season's ways
At darkening of the end of days
 
Walking hand in hand in love
Weather grey, but weather mild
Autumn's rain remains above
Pleasures pure and undefiled,
Happy memory yet still stays
At darkening of the end of days
 
Sweet the scent of autumn pine
Falling cones, as nature riven
Walking here a glimpse divine
Golden leaves and days of heaven,
One last glowing colour blaze
At darkening of the end of days
 
The years pass by, and evermore
Autumn storms come from above
The tide is foaming on the shore
A season changing, such I love
How could I not adore and praise
At darkening of the end of days
