My Love Will Come in Autumn Time

Today, 22 September, 2010, is the last day of summer for the northern hemisphere.


Love Autumnal (1922)
Oliver Jenkins

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 boughs,
And there, while soft-hued beauty reigns
We’ll make our vows.

Let others seek in spring for sighs
When love flames forth from every seed;
But love that blooms when nature dies
Is love indeed!

"Love Autumnal" and Chopin:
Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 11, 2nd Movement
(Frédéric Chopin)
