AUTUMN LANDSCAPE
The woods tanned greeness beautifully turnsTo russets reds & yellows were the eye
Revels in wild delight & loathly turns
To were the fields & meadows lonely lye
Bleached to one brown & mellancholly stain
Were larks together flock & lowly flye
Among the stubbs for summer littered grain
All silent save of noises that complain
Of fears while the pined hawk darts whizzing bye
Odd cows & horses brouze about the lanes
Were banks & dykes undainty meals supply
While the boy pauses by the meadow lakes
To hear the crane repeat its lonly cry
Pleased with the floods the frequent tempest makes
