Gypsy Autumn




"The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.
"

- Emily Dickinson -

The leaves are gypsies, dressed in gay colors, moving from one place to another, to settle for a long winter's night.
