Winds of Autumn

Though autumn brings her bright display

After summer goes its way,

Her golden hues soon fade away,

Leaving branches bare and gray.


The nuts are gathered from the trees,

And apples stored from winter freeze.

Gone are the summer’s droning bees,

And left behind are falling leaves.


Away have flown the butterflies,

And wild geese with honking cries.

The sun takes longer now to rise

And sooner drops in western skies.


Now comes the Jack-o’-lantern’s glow

And hints of winter’s coming snow.

Warm summer days seem long ago

When autumn winds begin to blow.

a)

the changes that autumn brings

b)

the speaker’s dislike of winter

c)

the migration of geese
