Ben Gieske - Autumn Musing

I smell the autumn leaves a burnin'
and see the lazy smoke arisin'
across the valley it's a spreadin'.
I love this hazy, lazy feelin'.

The sun is reddened and a settin'.
The air is coolin' in Mt. Vernon.
It's long since I been to Mt. Vernon
and smelt the autumn leaves a burnin'.


(Feb.1972)
