20 The Chipmunk FALL The fading flowers as they wither and die, The fleeing birds with their strident cry The restless cows as the low and bawl, Announce the coming of Fall.

Little brooklets bearing Autumn leaves Shed by the great oak trees Carry a message to field and hall, Announcing the coming of Fall. Fall is the King and he takes his throne, He claims the harvest as all his own. From the fields, the farmers rich tribute hawl, To lay at the feet of Fall.
