Hiking in the Fall




Besides the Autumn poets sing
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the Haze --



A few incisive Mornings --
A few Ascetic Eves --
Gone -- Mr. Bryant's "Golden Rod" --
And Mr. Thomson's "sheaves."



Still, is the bustle in the Brook --
Sealed are the spicy valves --
Mesmeric fingers softly touch
The Eyes of many Elves --



Perhaps a squirrel may remain --
My sentiments to share --
Grant me, Oh Lord, a sunny mind --
Thy windy will to bear!

Besides the Autumn poets sing by Emily Dickinson
