Hupa Sovereign's Day
Autumn
The Wendat Nation
Ceremony of Autumn

Enchant my view
Oh maple leaf
Scattered on
The ground.
Enrich the earth
With colors sweet
And growing
Rustling sounds.
Fill the earth
With flush and decay
By the smell of Autumn birth
Spread leafy fingers
To prepare the land
For coming Winter mirth.
