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.
