Autumn


The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sear. Bryant.—Death of the Flowers.	1
Lands will be lit With every autumn’s blaze of Golden Rod, And purple Asters everywhere will nod And bend and wave and flit. Helen Hunt.—Asters and Golden Rod.	2
To her bier Comes the year, Not with weeping and distress, as mortals do, But to guide her way to it All the trees have torches lit. Lucy Larcom.—The Indian Summer.	3
The tints of autumn—a mighty flower-garden, blossoming under the spell of the enchanter, Frost. Whittier.—Patucket Falls.	4
