What, than blue October days,
could ever finer be?
All the green that lay between the
tulips nugget gold
Turned to rarest gold itself one
night the wind grew cold.
Rusty grows the purple bloom
upon the iron weed.
Pursy grows the milk weed pod
with white and russell seed;
Hay in the distance; there's a
mist above the stream
Hay grows the distance with an
all-embracing dream.
Wine and nothing weaker is the
very air we breathe;
Naked trees are weeping Ger the
leaves that lie beneath
Carolina poplars that so quickly
doff their coats;
Clouds drift through the ether
like evaporating boats.
These are least of all things that
