Autumns pencil

The summer flower has run to seed

& yellow is the wood land bough

& every leaf of bush & weed

Is tipt wi autumns pencil now

& I do love the varied hue

& I do love the browning plain

& I do love each scene to view

Thats markd wi beauties of her reign

The wood bine trees red berries bare

That clustering hang upon the bower

While fondly lingering here & there

Peeps out a dwindling sickly flower
