Autumn Song

by Katherine Mansfield

Now's the time when children's noses

All become as red as roses And the colour of their faces

Makes me think of orchard places

Where the juicy apples grow, And tomatoes in a row. And to-day the hardened sinner Never could be late for dinner

But will jump up to the table Just as soon as he is able, Ask for three times hot roast mutton--Oh! the shocking little glutton.

Come then, find your ball and racket,Pop into your winter jacket,With the lovely bear-skin lining. While the sun is brightly shining, Let us run and play together

And just love the autumn weather
