Autumn's Fruit



The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.

Emily Dickinson

  15. Emily had a way with words, didn't she? I am so much more straightforward. "Hey . . . fall is on the way."
