autumn - henry wadsworth longfellow - ghizela rowe lyrics

with what a glory comes and goes the year!
the buds of spring, those beautiful harbingers
of sunny skies and cloudless times, enjoy
life’s newness, and earth’s garniture spread out;
and when the silver habit of the clouds
comes down upon the autumn sun, and with
a sober gladness the old year takes up
his bright inheritance of golden fruits
a pomp and pageant fill the splendid scene

there is a beautiful spirit breathing now
its mellow richness on the cl*stered trees
and, from a beaker full of richest dyes
pouring new glory on the autumn woods
and dipping in warm light the pillared clouds
morn on the mountain, like a summer bird
lifts up her purple wing, and in the vales
the gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer
kisses the blushing leaf, and stirs up life
within the solemn woods of ash deep*crimsoned
and silver beech, and maple yellow*leaved
where autumn, like a faint old man, sits down
by the wayside a*weary. through the trees
the golden robin moves; the purple finch
that on wild cherry and red cedar feeds
a winter bird, comes with its plaintive whistle
and pecks by the witch*hazel, whilst aloud
from cottage roofs the warbling blue*bird sings;
and merrily, with oft*repeated stroke
sounds from the threshing*floor the busy flail
o what a glory doth this world put on
for him who, with a fervent heart, goes forth
under the bright and glorious sky, and looks
on duties well performed, and days well spent!
for him the wind, ay, and the yellow leaves
shall have a voice, and give him eloquent teachings
he shall so hear the solemn hymn, that death
has lifted up for all, that he shall go
to his long resting*place without a tear
