| Late autumn |
I hate the way autumn comes so soon
I hate the way moon leers at me
Trees understand they drop their leaves
And swallows flee from underneath the eaves
T'was this time I said goodbye to you
You closed your eyes and breathed no more
Oh my darling you were my all
And rain like sad tears did fall
And so my life is where sadness rules
What a hole is left in my heart
Do you watch me from above?
Do you see it's still you I love?
You are still here all around me now
Children grow apace you'd be so proud
I grow so old without you
Please dear, do read this billet doux
