Autumn Day

Rhythmically

Autumn day, autumn day,

God gives richest gifts today.

Look on ev’ry side and see

Pleasant things for you and me.

Apples red and apples yellow,

Round and juicy, sweet and mellow,

Load the trees till they bend over

And their branches brush the clover.

Child, be glad with all that lives,

But forget not God, who gives.

Words and music: Grace Wilbur Conant, 1858–1948
