Autumn Sets In

The brown leaves have fallen There is a touch of cold in the air The sun goes down a little early The orange ball has got a pale glare Above the hills the sky is clear The lone star comes out too soon A shade of silver appears in the east Giving clue to the birth of a lovely moon The shepherd has already left The vale and on his way to home Amidst meandering cotton clouds in The sky with fading light a few birds roam Smoke from rooftops rises up To hang thick a while and vanish Water in the pond is still and shines A piece of glass with an elegant finish The picturesque earth displays All features exquisite and grand A vivid show of colors and patterns Goes on as autumn sets in across the land
