Let’s read together: Summer and Fall by Nona Keen Duffy

Today it still is summer,
Tomorrow will be fall.
I see the purple asters,
I hear the autumn’s call.

I feel the warm sun shining
As a balmy south wind blows;
I see more flowers blooming,
And I see the grass still grows;

The goldenrod is waving,
The bees are in the clover.
I hear a distant honking
The geese are flying over.

The maple leaves are golden:
The pumpkins, round and yellow.
The apple cheeks are rosy,
The pears are getting mellow.

The nuts are growing rounder,
The cornstalks, brown and sear.
By twenty lovely tokens
I know that fall is near.

Today it still is summer,
Tomorrow will be fall.
Today I still am barefoot.
Oh, how I love it all!
