Memory of Carolina
Autumn in the Carolinas,
Blue Ridge Mountains standing silent,
leaves now turn from green to gold.
With frosty mornings sharp and cold.
Hazy days and starlit nights.
The orchards now bare,
the crops are in,
only the pumpkins left to pick.
Soon the leaves will cover the ground,
as fall rains come,
the creeks turn brown.
Fields are plowed,
and left to stand
through winter storms, and gentle snows.
To waken in the distant Spring.
