Red Leaf in my hair...

I cannot live fast enough!

For a swirl of rushing air

Catches the red leaves from my feet

And scatters them everywhere.

I cannot live fast enough!

Look! those trees were green and now are bare

And over the cold horizon hills

The winter sun-fires glare.

I have not lived fast enough!

I must hurry, must run, must dare,

There is time yet for a red leaf

To tangle itself in my hair!

~Eda Lou Walton, "A Song," c.1919

 

I can so relate to these lyrics - autumn is slipping away so fast and I feel there is so much autumn beauty I still want to capture!
