OCTOBER, by                    
First Line: How I love thy colors gay
Last Line: Soon their leaves will rustle down.
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall


How I love thy colors gay,
Making all the woodland somber
Glow in topaz rich and rare,
Giant forest trees so fair.

Clumps of flimmering asters sway,
Sister Goldenrod her tender
Weight of gold again doth bear,
Leaves are dancing everywhere.

Birches now are turning golden,
Sumacs tall, a vivid red,
Maples wear a shining halo
Wrought in crimson, round their head.

Sturdy oaks are changing color,
Slowly -- for their dress of brown.
Woodbine flames and milkweed lowly,
Soon their leaves will rustle down.
