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

    Someone once briefly ruined Emily's poetry for me by telling of her unrequited love......

    The poem's words are lovely and so true, sadly the fruit is not doing somwell.
