The morning sun and the leaves to greet
Where the firmament and earth's bounty meet
Brilliant hues of Creation's light and knowing love
This before me in grandeur and in vistas above
Within its roots and branches all grace there BE
Budding green, flower white, golden orange of the tree
Donned in Autumn's cloak of citrine hue
The wondrous, its treasures bestowed upon you
At the front door these gems I to behold
Within the leaf the season's story ever told
The morning sun and the leaves to greet
Where the firmament and earth's bounty meet.
