IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN

 

This is the first day of autumn,

But the last leaf has not fallen---

And there is still a rose blossom!

Autumn's not the season of decay---

For proof interrogate the blue jay.

Bruised face of Autumn
Rest under savage
Snow
Sleep long sleep
In winter's
Glow

Spring will softly step
With golden light upon
Thy crimson
Frown.

EARTH'S VITAL WATER

BENEATH THE BRIGHT SCARLET LEAVES

AUTUMN'S RENAISSANCE

IT'S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!
