In Autumn
Fannie Montgomery

They're coming down in showers,
The leaves all gold and red;
They're covering the little flowers,
And tucking them in bed.
They've spread a fairy carpet
All up and down the street;
And when we skip along to school,
They rustle 'neath our feet.

A good early morning to you!

Good morning, ((((((((Sis))))))))).

I love ladies in hats. Your graphic is beautiful, as is the poem. : )

Oops! not quick enough to get the first reply.
BTW, How come you always get to be first, Amy. I'm gonna tell JustFrank and then you'll be sorry.

Autumn: the most powerful time of year. To me, it brings excitement and melancholy at the same time. More, MORE poems about Fall, please. And thank you.

LINES TO A SEASON

How quietly the year has passed away
Into that nothingness from whence it came,
And now the slowly drifting days are gray
Like powdered ashes near a dying flame;
The maple trees bewail their fallen crown
And autumn trails away like smoke at dawn--
The grass has faded to a dusty brown,
And I am lonely for a summer gone.

Each sunset tinted leaf is like a day
Blown from the tree of unrelenting years,
Leaves fall, and flowers die, lives float away,
And we are bitter now, with unshed tears.
A dying sun is setting through the gray--
How quietly the year has passed away!

~ Louis L'Amour
