An Autumn Song
Lay by, sweet woodlands, your array
Of gold and green!
How should ye wear it in the day
When Spring, your Queen,
Is chased away
By rebels from her bright demesne?
Of gold and green!
How should ye wear it in the day
When Spring, your Queen,
Is chased away
By rebels from her bright demesne?
Farewell, delight of lustrous leaves
And shining flowers!
Many an unseen hand unweaves
The royal bowers.
Earth's self receives
Sullenly the usurping Powers.
And shining flowers!
Many an unseen hand unweaves
The royal bowers.
Earth's self receives
Sullenly the usurping Powers.
