The Beginning Of Winter Poem by William He

"The Beginning of Winter": The Beginning of Winter": Every 7th or 8th day of November is the day of Beginning of Winter in 24 Solar Terms on the lunar calendar of China, which is also the first solar term in winter. Beginning of Winter means autumn have come to the end, all kinds of crops harvested in autumn have been dried and stored and animals have already hidden and started to hibernate in the ancient books. Beginning of Winter also means weather is getting cold all the creatures have begun to slow down their rate of metabolism to avoid the coldness in winter. "Feuilles mortes": 'Autumn Leaves' is the English-language version of the French song 'Les Feuilles mortes' ('The Dead Leaves') composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945. The original lyrics were written by Jacques Prévert in French, and the English lyrics were by Johnny Mercer. An instrumental recording by pianist Roger Williams was a number one best-seller in the US Billboard charts of 1955. Since its introduction 'Autumn Leaves' has become a jazz standard.
