The green of summer's mantle

Has turned to brown and gold

Autumn's coat of colours

Before the winter's cold

Each path a rustling carpet

Of fallen curling leaf

Sunshine filters through the trees

To light the ground beneath

Woodland tracks to stroll along

At heart a peaceful lake -

Wandering at leisure

Just there for nature's sake.
