Besides the Autumn poets sing
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the Haze―
A few incisive Morningsー
A few Ascetic Eves―
Gone―Mr.Bryant,s“Goldn Rod”―
And Mr.Thomson,s “sheaves.”
Still, is the bustle in the Brook―
Sealed are the spicy valves―
Mesmeric fingers softly touch
The Eyes of many Elves―
Perhaps a squirrel msy remain―
My sentiments to share―
Grant me, Oh Load, a sunny mind―
Thy windy will to bear!
(Emily Dickinson)
