Over the river, tossing off towards the bench 

We saw it with a smile

We're eager, checking every step

to dance  with a sigh.

Not knowing the cause of danger

in us we put our trust

but the end of our travesty

engenders the soul to anger.

And see, we sat together 

with this breeze over the river

seeing the autumn fall

in us, light shed its way o'er

Till the last time, it caused us to sever

for this can't continue forvever

but at last, peace has come by

and look!  over us, a green leaf flies!
