FAREWELL TO AUTUMN, by JULIA FIELD BROWN First Line: Mother autumn! Do not go! Last Line: I loved you so . . . Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall | |||
Mother Autumn! Do not go! But, come, and let us lie beneath this burnished tree Where swings a blood-red vine; Then let us count the golden balls upon the mountain ash. And let us drink the tingling wine That feeds these purple clusters; And let me keep your warm breath on my cheek, Mother mine. The ghost vine swings in barren tree; Grey night crouches low. O, let me close this heavy gate Against those leaden clouds. They march as armies lead by traitor grim -- Or Death . . . Mother Autumn! Do not go!
