Soon to Slumber

My days grow short

My magic, like the sunshine wanes

I have had my time in this forest realm

Of my greenery and flowers – few remain

I shall soon depart to my slumber

My sister, Autumn shall have her turn

And she in time too will rest

As my Cousin Winter my work will overturn

But young Sister Spring will in time wake

And begin our forest to renew

And I, Summer will paint the woods

With blossom, and scent for you
