Autumn Lament by Janet Martin The frost has kissed each valiant daisy Bowing in forlorn defeat Where summer days were warm and lazy She glazes every leaf Her icy fingers reach to brush Each glowing pumpkins cheek As leaves of varying shade and blush Drift on the chattering creek The tempting, taunting breeze of May Turns sassy in its chill Stripping autumn's bright display From every tree and hill She cares not for the summer heart Observing, sad, alone She laughs upon November's hearth With chilling under-tones To everything there is a time A purpose and a season There's no use in futile crying Or begging for a reason The flowers cry a purple river With petals wept in vain Victims, as I, of bleak November And waiting for spring again But God, You are the God of all Our 'June's' and our 'Novembers In each life some tears will fall Help us to remember Seasons come and seasons go Time's a ceaseless river But in life's constant ebb and flow You are the changeless Giver |
