I have passed the day mid the forest gayA
In its gorgeous autumn dyesB
Its tints as bright and as fair to the sightC
As the hues of our sunset skiesB
And the sun s glad rays veiled by golden hazeD
Streamed down neath its arches grandE
And with magic power made scene and hourF
Like a dream of Faerie LandE
-
The emerald sheen of the maple greenG
Is turned to deep rich redH
And the boughs entwine with the crimson vineI
That is climbing overheadH
While like golden sheaves the saffron leavesJ
Of the sycamore strew the groundK
Neath birches old clad in shimmering goldL
Or the ash with red berries crownedK
-
Stately and tall o er its sisters allM
Stands the poplar proud and loneN
Every silvery leaf in restless griefO
Laments for the summer flownN
While each oak and elm of the sylvan realmP
In brilliant garb arrayedQ
With each other vie neath the autumn skyR
In beauty of form and shadeQ
-
When wearied the gaze with the vivid blazeD
Of rich tints before it spreadH
Gay orange and gold with shades untoldL
Of glowing carmine and redH
It can turn mid the scene to the sombre greenG
Of the fir the hemlock the pineI
Ever keeping their hue and their freshness tooS
Mid the season s swift declineI
-
Though the bird s sweet song that the summer longT
Hath flowed so sweet and clearU
Through the cool dim shades of our forest gladesV
No longer charms the earW
A witching spell that will please as wellX
As his glad notes may be foundK
In the solemn hush or the leaves soft rushY
As they thickly strew the groundK
-
For though they tell of summer s farewellX
Of their own decay and doomZ
Of the wild storm cloud and the snow s cold shroudA2
And the days of winter s gloomZ
The heart must yield to the power they wieldB2
Alike tender soothing gayA
The beauties that gleam and that reign supremeC2
In our woods this autumn dayA
