AUTUMN ON THE RIO GRANDE, by KATHERINE NICHOLS OWSLEY
First Line: Young cottonwoods, like tall whiplashes
Last Line: The song of leaves, like dripping rain.
Subject(s): Rio Grande River
First Line: Young cottonwoods, like tall whiplashes
Last Line: The song of leaves, like dripping rain.
Subject(s): Rio Grande River
Young cottonwoods, like tall whiplashes,
With foliage of ochre splashes,
Drop slowly their dead leaves, and sway
With sadness in the autumn day.
While the earth calls its refrain
To falling leaves, like dripping rain,
The winding river's silver sheen
Adorns the valley lands between;
And swells the earth song in its strain—
The song of leaves, like dripping rain.
