Autumn? Is it? You’re quite sure?
Surely it’s spring around here?
It’s certainly complicated
and I do like to be sure.
You see I’m a water maiden
I’m really rather shy though
but I’m bright and beautiful
and I’ll say that quietly.
I am by a lovely lily.
It’s a white water lily
and it’s so sweet and vibrant
and I love to sit with it.
So now I’m thinking to myself
it’s almost an equinox
and that is pretty pleasing,
it could be fall or vernal.

Most interesting, but what does it mean, apart from a particular Pope, Pius XII. Hmm.

Chris, wow! I really love how your water maiden makes uncertainty feel playful rather than unsettling, as though not knowing whether it is autumn or spring can itself be a kind of season.

Just a little early for autumn, I so agree. However, it’s pretty much spring here in the Cape – meaning Cape Town, SA!
