Gentle Autumn
#2
Lovely read, great job on the meter. A few nits:

Maybe some punctuation at the end of L2.

"while with me" and "deamily" don't quite rhyme.

A comma after Summer.

Thanks for the read, I'm enjoying it.

Come here my love and lay awhile with me,
And with your weary head upon my breast
Relax and let your thoughts drift dreamily
As you and I together take our rest.
This is our time of close companionship,
Take comfort in the warmth of my embrace
And smile, as softly with my finger tip
I trace familiar contours of your face.
I ask no more of life than tenderness,
Our youthful times of passion being spent;
But do not think my love is any less,
Or that in life today I’m not content.
We shared our Spring and Summer dearest wife;
So now the gentle Autumn of our life.
