lyrics

Courting Autumn by Pamela Wyn Shannon

Take a turn with me Autumn, Through the gloaming, in the fold
With black crows at my shoulder, I'll fly in with the cold
Come courting at my doorstep, With a seedpod bouquet
Blustery and bold I will sweep you away...

What can I bring you? Name any, name all
Bring me a basket to catch when I fall
Why do you chill me and stir my heart so?
You cared for my seeds when my woeful winds blow...

You've ripened and berry-stained my lips with your kiss
The flower and faded, But swells the fruits, haws and hips
After the harvest, why feel I such grief?
Fear not, you shall prosper, If you braid the last sheaf...

Why deprive me of sun, Make the evening come early?
So you will raise up the fire, And make sweet warm company
Am I to die soon? My bones turn to clay?
My trees will cradle you to the heavens, And you'll fly away...
