Lyrics
English
Trees are blowing
Leaves are rattling
Cloud is flattering
Cold is in the air
Windy breeze
Foggy mornings
Damp gardens
Red, orange and yellow in sky. Autumn
Like a joy in the heart of sorrow,
The sunset hangs on a cloud;
A golden storm of glittering sheaves,
Of fair and frail and fluttering leaves,
The wild wind blows in a cloud.
Hark to a voice that is calling
To my heart in the voice of the wind;
My heart is weary and sad and alone,
For its dreams like the fluttering leaves have gone,
And why should I stay behind?
Leaves are rattling
Cloud is flattering
Cold is in the air
Windy breeze
Foggy mornings
Damp gardens
Red, orange and yellow in sky. Autumn
Like a joy in the heart of sorrow,
The sunset hangs on a cloud;
A golden storm of glittering sheaves,
Of fair and frail and fluttering leaves,
The wild wind blows in a cloud.
Hark to a voice that is calling
To my heart in the voice of the wind;
My heart is weary and sad and alone,
For its dreams like the fluttering leaves have gone,
And why should I stay behind?
