YOU loved those vivid, crisp, autumnal days
When the still harvest fields are touched by frost
To magic gold; when windless leaves embossed
With living brown, scarlet, and crimson blaze,
Fixed flames in the late sun's slow mellowing rays;
When narrowed, winding brooks are straying, lost
In blackened sedge; when wood paths, cool and mossed,
Shine where the sunlight in the bracken plays.
You loved it, and your eager spirit glowed
With the rich golden of the sun swept beech;
Your gypsy feet sought the free upland road
And winged walked the hilltop's highest reach;
And from full-stored heart the sunlight flowed
That filled with its deep tones a poet's speech.
