When fall comes to New England

The sun slants in so fine

And the air's so clear you can almost hear

The grapes grow on the vine

The nights are sharp with starlight

And the days are cool and clean

And in the blue sky overhead

The northern geese fly south instead

And leaves are Irish Setter red

And the wind blows off the sea

When the acorns line the walkways

Then winter can't be far

From yellow leaves a blue jay calls

And chipmunks run the old stone walls
