Brown bovines browsing

And the orchard boughs bow

With russets ruby red.

The grass is freshly mown

And the crops are harvested.

 

In the verdant valley

Nestles a neat restful town,

Where ancient tomes are sold

And past ancient voices are heard

In fading folios old.

 

At the cosy cottage

In this autumnal stage,

My soul is scanned by your look –

My emotions a translucent page

In an easily read page.
