AUTUMN by ALEXANDER L. POSEY

First Line: IN THE DREAMY SILENCE / OF THE AFTERNOON, A
Last Line: REST -- AND IT IS AUTUMN.
Subject(s): AUTUMN; SEASONS; FALL;
In the dreamy silence
Of the afternoon, a
Cloth of gold is woven
Over wood and prairie;
And the jaybird, newly
Fallen from the heaven,
Scatters cordial greetings,
And the air is filled with
Scarlet leaves, that, dropping,
Rise again, as ever,
With a useless sigh for
Rest -- and it is Autumn.
