It's autumn and my spirit is reborn
Like Dahlias that bloom in orange shades;
My heart is cheerful, so this lovely morn
I'll take my steps towards the silent glades
Where once I held my Amber's silken palm
And spoke those words a lover longs to say,
And sauntered by the bluebells sweet and calm
Like freeborn clouds that drifted by that day.
Three years have flown by since she found a place
Amid the realm of God, beside His eyes;
I've never missed this date since then to trace
This spot of our love's tale. Love never dies;
It lives for me among these silent leas
And in our symbols chiseled on the trees.
