The poem starts. "There is something in the autumn that is native to my blood..." (I think that's right anyway.) |

A friend read the poem and said that her mother used to sing it but she couldn't remember the tune. I have another friend who loves that poem and loves to sing so I thought would be great to figure out the melody. Maybe her Mom just made up a tune? |

THERE is something in the autumn that is native to my blood— Touch of manner, hint of mood; And my heart is like a rhyme, With the yellow and the purple and the crimson keeping time. The scarlet of the maples can shake me like a cry Of bugles going by. And my lonely spirit thrills To see the frosty asters like a smoke upon the hills. There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir; We must rise and follow her, When from every hill of flame She calls and calls each vagabond by name. |
