Autumn Days.

Topics: classic

Yellow, mellow, ripened days,     Sheltered in a golden coating;     O'er the dreamy, listless haze,     White and dainty cloudlets floating;     Winking at the blushing trees,     And the sombre, furrowed fallow;     Smiling at the airy ease     Of the southward-flying swallow.     Sweet and smiling are thy ways,     Beauteous, golden, Autumn days!     Shivering, quivering, tearful days,     Fretfully and sadly weeping;     Dreading still, with anxious gaze,     Icy fetters round thee creeping;     O'er the cheerless, withered plain,     Woefully and hoarsely calling;     Pelting hail and drenching rain     On thy scanty vestments falling.     Sad and mournful are thy ways,     Grieving, wailing, Autumn days!
