PENNSYLVANIA AUTUMN, by                    
First Line: Gladly the sunshine rests its golden light
Last Line: What glorious wealth the yellow sun imparts!
Subject(s): Autumn; Nature; Seasons; Sun; Fall


Gladly the sunshine rests its golden light
Upon the green hills of my native place,
Casting rich glory over vale and height,
Sifting through leaves in patterns of orange lace;
And as the autumn's setting sun sinks lower,
Rounding each tree with flaming scarlet line,
Filling the vales, as goblets, more and more
With violet light, like ruddy purple wine:
There, when the sun's a ball of rosy rust
Ready to roll behind the western hill
It tints each stream and gilds the very dust,
Draping its soft caress on every rill;
To hills warmed with the love of "Keystone" hearts
What glorious wealth the yellow sun imparts!
