OCTOBER Leaves

The beauty of this place

Heaven surely does embrace

These lovely leaves outside on ancient beeches now a red, rustic hue

Delights my ageing eyes to view

Soon old winter’s cold winds will scatter them away

Then they will be gathered up for burning on November’s Guy Fawkes day

And so the seasons go on

Always it has been so

Classical music delights me

Gives an euphoric glow

Yes it does you know.
