Young swallows have learned how to fly,
The leaves that were green are no longer so green,
And it looks like the summer is over.”

"Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen."”

Yet our full-leaved willows are in the freshest green.
Such a kindly autumn, so mercifully dealing
With the growths of summer, I never yet have seen.”

Green wind. Green branches.
The ship out on the sea
