    When the red sun sinks in the West
    And the stars twinkle in the sky
    All nature is lulled to rest
    And my thoughts to my loved ones fly
    Whispiring leaves on an Autumn eve,
    What can your message be?
    Whisper as you're gently falling,
    Is my true love calling,
    Whisper that I may see.
    Oh what says your gentle voice;
    What does your fancy see?
    Is my love, my dear love,
    Coming back to me.
    Whispering me?
