Faded leaves away


I love the fitful gust that shakes 

The casement all the day
& from the glossy elm tree takes 
The faded leaves away
Twirling them by the window pane 
With thousand others down the lane

I love to see the cottage smoke 
Curl upwards through the trees
The pigeons nestled round the cote 
On November days like these
The cock upon the dunghill crowing
The mill sails on the heath a-going
