Two Weeks Into September

Two weeks into September the leaves begin to brown In the groves and in the Town Park of in and near Millstreet Town And soon the redwing thrushes in the old fields will be seen When the gray frost of the cold morning does temporarily cloak the green, Two weeks into September by the mountains far away Few singing birds at daybreak do sing to greet the day Yet in my flights of fancy i hear the jackdaws call And i hear the robin singing in the cool days of the Fall With a tongue that can't stop babbling every night and every day The old stream from the mountains to the river winds it's way And on a rock in the river around where the rapid waters flow The dark brown dipper is singing the one with breast as white as snow And on the second week of September by the mountains far north of here The shortening days are getting cooler in the Autumn of the year.
