OCTOBER

Oh thin October sunshineOn thin October leaves—A ghostly web of laughterThe golden season weaves.
The curt wind's cool caressingSinews the laggard soulTo follow, follow, followAn ever rising goal.
But more to me the laughterThe fading season weaves—The thin October sunshineOn thin October leaves.
