POET'S My Autumn Friend I sit at my window and my friend I behold, that once was so green, but now so gold. For autumn has come and its colours are cast, a glorious sight, but not does it last. Its coloured leaves dance to a breeze so slight; to melody unheard; a symphony of sight. Its bark is stained so by ages long past. A struggle to live; determined to last. I sit by my window, and my friend I behold Its branches now bare; without trace of gold, for its covering once valued, of unknown its worth, once again covers its mother, the earth.' There it so stands with silhouette now free; its skeleton of wood for all to see. . For spring's labour frenzy, and summer so fleet, . now lies with contentment at its hidden feet. | I sit at my window, and my friend I behold. WANUOT) umjunoy 'say Aq Winter has come, but its life does it keep; perhaps no thought dead; but only asleep. As I turn from my window I cherish the thought of all the pleasure my friends has brought. And I know in my heart this enduring one thing, my autumn friend awakes at the warmth of next spring
