It's showering yellow leaves today,
The lowmost limbs are bare,
And there's a lusty pungency
Like challenge, in the air.
I'll take your challenge, Autumn,
Lay down my years, my load,
To roam like a child in the woodland
And down the river road.
Then when age makes me prisoner
This zest, this tang, shall stay
And set my old lips singing
It's showering leaves today!
