Constance La France Poet Rubaiyat

Notes About The Poem

 

"Beautiful over my pathway
The forest spoils are shed 
They are spotting the grassy hillocks
With purple and gold and red."
                                            
                    William Cullen Bryant _My Autumn Walk

Stillness of An Autumn Walk

 Walking the Autumn forest heals,
as squirrels dig for nutty meals;
on this lovely but chilly day,
where bright colors nature reveals.

Wildflowers still growing so gay,
and song birds move like a ballet;
the tangled path wonderful still,
I even love the leaf decay.

From a hidden tree a loud shrill,
this path is leading me uphill;
and wind sweeps the gold and red;
I hug myself in the morn' chill.

Like a patch blanket the leaves spread,
vines are drying and hang like thread;
soon, all will be resting in snow,
forest trees stand bare looking dead.
