October ghylls swell, winterfylleth, see the becks turn into rivers
As salmon climb unseen through peat stained pools
October sun comes shyly skimming, glancing the hills with gold and silver
To trick us once again we summer fools
I am October, I can face both ways, I’m Russian red, I’m Slavic gold
I am October, I am the border, I’m winter bare, I’m a summer rose
I steal the sun for summer lingering, yet snap the leaves with icy fingers
To see them float and drift on autumn winds
I live on the memory of sweet honeysuckle, yet hear the ice sheets twist and buckle
Far away to the north where winter begins
Yes, I am the winter and the summer’s beauty, I’m the calm and I’m the fury
I’m lengthening shadows and shortening days
And as my daytime turns to darkening, then my night time sky comes sparkling
And the stars and planets wheel with the Milky Way
I am October, I plough my own way, the earth fresh furrows of autumn days
I am October, I’m russet and golden, I’m the morning fog, I’m the evening haze
I’m the tenth, I’m the sixth, I’m the second knuckle on your second fist
I’m the eighth in the ancient city of Rome
I’m the opal, I am Libra, I’m the balance between summer and winter
I’m the one who makes you think of hearth and home
I am October, I can face both ways, I’m russet red I’m autumn gold
I am October, I plough my own way, I’m the morning fog, I’m the evening haze
I’m winter bare, I’m a late summer rose
