(Grandsons Gabriel and Daniel, pumpkin shopping.)
“No spring nor summer’s beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face….”
— John Donne, “Elegy IX: The Autumnal”
OCTOBER GAVE A PARTY
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came,—
The Ashes, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The sunshine spread a carpet,
And every thing was grand;
Miss Weather led the dancing;
Professor Wind, the band….
The sight was like a rainbow
New-fallen from the sky….
— George Cooper, “October’s Party”
