I would follow the sun when the north winds arise
I would follow the sun when the north winds arise,
And Autumn has taken its blue from the skies;
I would go, with the birds and the flowers in their train,
Like a sylph, o'er the wide-rolling waves of the main,
And seek on a warmer and lovelier shore
A home, till the dark storms of winter are o'er.
'Tis pleasant to stray in a tropical grove,
Where flowers, fruits, and foliage are blended above,
Where the sky, as it opens so vividly through,
Is pure as a spirit in mantle of blue,
And Autumn has taken its blue from the skies;

Like a sylph, o'er the wide-rolling waves of the main,
And seek on a warmer and lovelier shore
