Blaze Of Glory

I came to my favourite spot

Under the bright maple trees.

The sun shone ever brightly hot,

The wind murmured in a breeze



Ultramarine was the colour

Of the river, rippling nigh

It was Fall, with nothing duller

Than lemon touching blue sky.



Autumn fairies had kissed the trees

And some seemed red with pleasure

Saffron and amber, sure to please,

Colours were beyond measure.



Leaving in a blaze of glory

Before they were extinguished

Was now the entire Fall story.

Ah, weren't the leaves distinguished!
