Late Autumn

Topics: classic

The fields lie bare before me now,     The fruit is gathered in,     Not even seen a grazing cow,     Nor heard the blackbird's din.     The heath is brown, and ivy pale,     The woodbine berries red,     And withered leaves borne on the gale     Sink down on peaty bed.     At morn the fence was covered o'er     With a pale sheet of rime;     The earth was like a marble floor,     But now is turned to grime.     For Autumn rains are falling fast,     And swells the running brook;     The Indian Summer, too, is past;     For snowfall soon we look.
