Jesse Rowe Poet Quintain (English)

Sovereign Autumn

Awaiting Summer's rule to end
     Fall sleeps in dream of colored shades.
As sun unwinds its solstice bend,
     The hope of autumn soon pervades
     While emerald kingdom slowly fades.

When Autumn wakes from her repose,
     The cooling wind calls out to trees,
"Come trade your basic olive clothes
    For colored raiments as you please
    And walk with me upon the breeze."

The kindest queen of all the four,
     How graciously does Autumn start.
For all her subjects do adore
    Her renaissance of forest art
    And come to soothe heat-blistered heart.
