LOVE AUTUMNAL
Reading edition
My love will come in autumn-time When leaves go spinning to the ground And wistful stars in heaven chime With the leaves’ sound. Then, we shall walk through dusty lanes And pause beneath low-hanging boughs, And there, while soft-hued beauty reigns We’ll make our vows. Let others seek in spring for sighs When love flames forth from every seed; But love that blooms when nature dies Is love indeed!
OLIVER JENKINS
