Oh, Fall! Thou art too easy on the eyes
With the crunch of russet leaves underfoot.
What sweet flaming leaves! Enthralled by the bise,
That force thine to dilly-dally afoot.
~
October! Thou maketh mine days so vibrant,
Gazing thee every morn is mine best-loved.
Thou hugged the hills dear and make mine heart pliant,
Never have thou left no heartstrings unmoved.
~
Fall! Thou gave a gay brown last but kindly.
Nothing falls so tame like thy tanned falling.
Race of thy countless yellow flows gently.
Thy fairly bracing, but too arresting.
~
Ah! Thou cosmic fall, I sigh to thy grace.
Mine brittle bosom falls for thee with praise.
~
