There was a well
This was my town
There were the trains
Blue veiled mountains
Five hundred miles and more
Autumn in the Country
There was a tree
Outside my door
Scarlet-hued in autumn light
Basking in the sun before
The chill of winter night
And meadows green
Sheep among the marigold
Country folk whom I have seen
Meals to fix, wash to fold
And whistles sad and merry
And a clickety clack
As they rode the track
Bound for Harpers Ferry
Appalachian song and story
Misty morning majesty
Clad now in burnished glory
Lie between that town and me
But, ah, when autumntime comes in
I live the memory
