dulcimer - sonnet to the fall lyrics

catch the sounds of the wind, stealing the leaves
tearing them down from their branches
to lie like snow all around, carpet the ground
silently leave when the spring comes to town
what care i for this, my sonnet to the fall

spoken:
the year as a cycle has now taken its turn
first corner, winter showed its pale face
then hid behind a cloud, second corner, spring
promethean flame ran ignited candled chestnut trees to flower
summer’s staff of thirteen bars has played, erased, forgotten
fourth corner, autumn heralds the coming winter
and while his golden trumpet blast looks and leaps to corners deep
three sons of fall turn all to gold
the first to leaf, the next to light
the last will hide as if in fright
and wait until his chance is right
to freeze the life itself to gold
then leaves to cry, so sad, so cold

what care i for this, my sonnet to the fall

clouds now sweep across the skies, blue now turns to grey
the smile of the sun’s disappearing
and see how autumn’s golden touch is opening its hand
summer’s songs erased from the score sheet by silent hands
what care i for this, my sonnet to the fall
