Poetry.
Autumn.
By Alice Cary.
Through my window shows the stain
Of the oak, grown redly sere;
Autumn frost, and Autumn rain,
Fall a month too soon this year-
Full a month too soon, my dear,
Were you sitting near to me.
O my friend, this dreary day,
Drowsiest fields would seem to be
Sweet with speckled pinks, and hay,
And the maples twice as gay.
In their yellow caps they stand,
Down the ridges two by two,
Looking very proud and grand,
As if God had made them new,-
As I should be, loved by you.
From its bower of biting thorns,
Will the sweetbriar break in May
Like a thousand little morns
To one round and rosy day?
Never with my love away.
