Recitation:  Daria Donova 
In this poem, Alexander Pushkin describes the beauty of autumn nature.

The golden time of the year is striking in its beauty and poetry. The period when nature brightly and solemnly says goodbye to summer, warmth, greenery and prepares for winter sleep.
Paintings by Russian painter Vasily Polenov. 

Oh, gloomy season mine! My eye's delight, enchanting 
How pleasant to me is your beauteous farewell grace!
I love the sumptuousness of nature softly passing,
In velvet raiment and in gold the forests dress:
Their treetops sound so light with wind’s fresh  breath but glancing
And waves of misty  fog beshroud skies like lace,
The sun’s rays, so rare now, and the first frost upon us,
And seeming far off now, dread winter’s greyhaired  menace
