OCTOBER DAYS
By Eva A. Madden
/~VUT in the field is the golden-rod, ^**' Waving and bending its yellow plumes; White is the silk in the milk-weed pod, In the yellow days of October.
Crimson are trees of the forest land, Berries hang red on the climbing vines,
Maples are touched by a golden hand, And the nuts are ripe in their brownness.
Close to the grass are the asters white, Brown on the ground lie the fallen leaves,
Circling around summer's birds take flight And the quails whirr up near the fences.
Over the land is the autumn haze;
Slowly at eve comes the great, round moon; Silent and sweet are the country ways
In the golden days of October.
