Autumn Catena Rondo

Oh, I am longing for the cool of Autumn;

The dog days have stretched out this year-

The lawns are brown, the grass is sere,

Oh, I am longing for the cool of Autumn.

The dog days have stretched out this year-

How I wish for Autumn to commence,

The muggy air has dulled my sense,

The dog days have stretched out this year.

How I wish for Autumn to commence,

Turning trees and sweaters and hot tea,

Chilly nights, crisp days, Halloween,

How I wish for Autumn to commence.

Turning trees and sweaters and hot tea,

Trips to the woods, where leaves crunch on our way,

How I wish the Autumn was here to stay!

Turning leaves and sweaters and hot tea.

Trips to the woods, where leaves crunch on our way,

Oh, I am longing for the cool of Autumn,

And the taste of fresh pressed cider on my tongue,

Trips to the woods, where leaves crunch on our way,

Oh, I am longing for the cool of Autumn;

The dog days have stretched out this year-

The lawns are brown, the grass is sere,

Oh, I am longing for the cool of Autumn.
