MY love will come in autumn-time When leaves go spinning to the ground And wistful stars in heaven chime With the leaves' sound.
Then, we shall walk through dusty lanes And pause beneath low-hanging boughs1, And there, while soft-hued beauty reigns2 We'll make our vows3.
Let others seek in spring for sighs When love flames forth4 from every seed; But love that blooms when nature dies Is love indeed!
