Winter Lies Ahead

Spring has gone in the meadow
spring has gone in the flowers
spring has gone in the trees
and winter is coming

It is fall
with leaves to wrestle
and sticks to fall
for spring has gone

And there are many things to pick
to harvest the apple trees in the orchard
to harvest the paint berries
to harvest the vines
so there are many things that must come to pass

There are many things to end
many things to fall
winter lies ahead.
