Like a gaudy gypsy lady In the colorful attire- Or a dancing living ember From a bright and open fire- Comes the hazy Indian summer With her crisp and tangy air, That strips the trees of beauty And leaves them bleak and bare. Like an encore to a summer's play, She makes her final fling, To leave behind the darken sky The waiting of the spring. A reminder that the seasons, Like a constantly changing sphere, Add spice and different flavor As they change throughout the year. Each one forms a different pattern, With a landscape ever knew, As they link themselves together, In their quarterly debut. |
