Introduction

This is a villanelle for this year's Autumn Equinox. We say farewell to summer and day matches night and so I have chosen "Father Of Day, Father Of Night" Manfred Mann's Earthband's cover of the Bob Dylan Song.

An Autumn Equinox

๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒ˜๐ŸŒ—๐ŸŒ–๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ”๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒ’๐ŸŒ›

The Hours Of The Day Match The Hours Of The Night

Today Is The Day To Say "Summer, Farewell"

From The Trees See The Gold Leaves Falling In Flight

๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ›

Coming Days Are Shorter With Lessening Light

Darkness Will Be Welcomed By Earlier Bells

The Hours Of The Day Match The Hours Of The Night

๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒš๐ŸŒ›

We Will See More Stars Shine, A Beautiful Sight

Autumn Leaves Falling, Summer Sun Fare Thee Well

From The Trees See The Gold Leaves Falling In Flight

๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ›

We Can See The Moon Bathed In Silver Starlight

Shining Bright, Reflected In A Wishing Well

The Hours Of The Day Match The Hours Of The Night

๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒš๐ŸŒ›

Each Day Is Still Twenty Four Hours, Know That's Right

Twice Times Twelve At Noon And Midnight Toll Church Bells

From The Trees See The Gold Leaves Falling In Flight

๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ›

The Autumn Equinox Does Now Split The Light

As Burnt Brown Autumn Leaves Are Falling Pell-Mell

The Hours Of The Day Match The Hours Of The Night

From The Trees See The Gold Leaves Falling In Flight
