The Artist of Autumn is busy,
painting His canvases rare;
which those produced by mere mortals,
can never begin to compare;
For the hands of this masterful Craftsman,
give life to each stem and each sheaf;
and tints, with astounding perfection,
rich textures on each separate leaf.
He claims the world as His subject:
the deserts and valleys and hills;
nor do scenes of the farmlands and prairies
escape His breathtaking skills.
O He gives with His talents, unequalled,
a freshness and fragrance to air;
and garments of flame for the foliage,
but Autumn's are privileged to wear.
Therefore I always feel anxious
when this special season draws near;
for soon with His paintbox of magic,
will the Artist of Autumn appear.

Give thanks to the Lord...
to him who alone
does great wonders...
