To Walk The
Autumn Path
Alone
I walk the
autumn path
alone this year
And think of all
the seasons we
once knew,
When hand in
hand we walked
together, dear,
Beneath October
suns of
cloudless blue.
Oh, how we loved
to watch the
summers change,
To feel the
breath of
crispness in the
air,
But now, my
love, the way is
dark and
strange;
The bitter chill
is more than I
can bear.
I cannot see a
multicolored
show
Of dancing
leaves
resplendent in
display,
For somber is
the color that I
know,
So lifeless is
the autumn of my
day.
I
long to see the
leaves in
flaming hue,
And yearn to
walk the path
again with you.
