Poems by Women

AUTUMN

Emily Dickinson [1830-1886]

The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.

 

From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
