EXAMPLE:

SEPTEMBER KISSES SUMMER'S HAND
And offers up his sad goodbyes
He'll miss her landscapes glowing grand
With festive blooms and golden skies

With sad refrain and solace too
SEPTEMBER KISSES SUMMER'S HAND
Twas missing her that made him blue
But now moves on per her command

As cool winds blow and chill the land
And nights grow long 'neath moonlit skies
SEPTEMBER KISSES SUMMER'S HAND
As slow she shuts her wearied eyes

Now Fall arrives with all its will
And brazen colors grace the land
But whispering he loves her still
SEPTEMBER KISSES SUMMER'S HAND
