Approach Of Winter
Adapted from a melody by Ludwig von Beethoven
Found in "The American Singer - Book 5" (1946)
The
Autumn winds are rustling down. The nights are growing
longer. O'er forest fields and meadow brown, November winds blow
stronger. Far overhead in grayish skies, a flock of geese is
calling, and as they journey swiftly by, a misty rain is falling.
The
flowers withered all around by frost descending nightly. The fir
trees bending touch the ground with ice that sparkles brightly.
Far off in lonely wood I hear, a partridge faintly drumming. By
all these signs the time is near when Winter days are coming.
