NO AUTUMN SUN, by                    
First Line: Darkened and warm, the sacramento lies
Last Line: Lays quiet hands upon this fruitful ground.
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall


Darkened and warm, the Sacramento lies;
The dusky orchard lands and stubbled fields,
In this half-light which dimly magnifies,
Sleep with the fertile pulse the valley yields
Even in rest. Silo, and barn, and shed
Loom vast and black, where stored are fruits and grains.
The harvest moon, immense, blood-orange red,
Fills half the sky and mellows all the plains.

Drowsy with life the day has never known,
Peaceful with praise no Autumn sun commands,
This is a power of night which claims its own --
The groves and farms, the broad, delivered lands;
While country silence, simple and profound,
Lays quiet hands upon this fruitful ground.
