Harvest Time
Daniel Senie © October 2014
Crisp new England air on an autumn morning
Songbirds at the feeder greet sunrise as they sing
Leaves begin to fade in colors bright and bold
Whispers on the wind, another year grows old
The passing of the seasons, summer into fall
Soon enough winter winds will sound their siren call
The years pass too quickly, and yet we can't complain
Come next year, we’ll be right here, rejoicing again
So set the table, light the candles, it's harvest time once more
Sunny days, chilly nights, wind knocks at the door
Apple pie from the oven, sure to delight
Celebrate this bounty in autumn's fading light
Clouds soar overhead through gently swaying trees
In this time of dreams and joyful memories
The firewood is stacked, and the peaches have been canned
Working hand in hand, in concert with the land
So set the table, light the candles, it's harvest time once more
Sunny days, chilly nights, wind knocks at the door
Apple pie from the oven, sure to delight
Celebrate this bounty in autumn’s fading light
Harvest time is bittersweet; we cannot help but sigh
Another trip around the sun, days are passing by
As we settle into winter and cold winds start to blow
We’ll think about next season and the crops that we will grow
There's taters in the cellar and wheat to see us through
The kale will winter over, 'til springtime skies turn blue
So set the table, light the candles, it's harvest time once more
Sunny days, chilly nights, wind knocks at the door
Apple pie from the oven, sure to delight
Celebrate this bounty in autumn’s fading light
Celebrate together on this joyful night
