I was almost lost,
Almost swept within the danger of your dreamy eyes,
Forgotten in my resolve,
with another decision,
to have you as my only
though I had you not at all.

Free my soul, awakening Autumn,
remind me that I need one for the
Winter days of life,
to share more than my dizzy-sick fantasies with,

I'm going to be sick, and then clean,
I'm going to be sore, and then strong,
I'm going to be myself once again,

As the sun glows, low in the sky
through the burnished leaves
which long to drift to sleep in the glound,
I fall from the cloudless sky with them,
enlightened as to the true matter;
you will be a friend.

My soul is freed, awakened by Autumn,
Reminded that I need one for the
Winter days of life
To share more than my dizzy-sick fantasies with

Caught up in the spring and killing summer heat,
High in my expectations,
a pure breeze has brought me back to real life.
