Coral.coloured yew-berries <br />Strew the garden ways, <br />Hollyhocks and sunflowers <br />Make a dazzling blaze <br />In these latter days. <br /> <br />Marigolds by cottage doors <br />Flaunt their golden pride, <br />Crimson-punctured bramble leaves <br />Dapple far and wide <br />The green mountain-side. <br /> <br />Far away, on hilly slopes <br />Where fleet rivulets run, <br />Miles on miles of tangled fern, <br />Burnished by the sun, <br />Glow a copper dun. <br /> <br />For the year that's on the wane, <br />Gathering all its fire, <br />Flares up through the kindling world <br />As, ere they expire, <br />Flames leap high and higher.<br /><br />Mathilde Blind<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/autumn-tints/
