Warms the low spot; upon its grassy mould
The purple oak-leaf falls; the birchen bough
Drops its bright spoil like arrow-heads of gold.

When Nature lets the wild earth go its way,

The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky.

And all the months pay bounty to her store;
The fields and orchards still their tribute bear,
And fill her brimming coffers more and more.
