Chlorophyll still intense and pigments last with glorious hues,
Return once more to Valhalla park,
The most red of leaves,
Show off your anthocyanin,
Are the maple trees which we'll pine in,
With the sun teasing us to believe,
We have left and returned once again,
Shine sunny warm days,
They'll mock our ways,
Oh, it is the cold nights,
Thousands upon thousands of deciduous trees delight,
Oaks, poplars and the alders,
Those and many more with their carotenoid protectors,
Yellows and orangey leaves that cast the colors,
Chlorophyll you hid so well those beautiful orange and yellows,
Your lovely green hue of natural life; as those green covers mellow,
We'll be sad when the chlorophyll decomposes,
Their chloroplasts will no longer work,
For now the leaves will cascade down upon this land,
Enjoy your long senescence,
And rest once more for winters presence.
