Simple gifts for you...




It's a rainy, October Monday here in Georgia...
OCTOBER!
How in the world did that happen?
 
 I have a few beautiful images
and poems for you today ~
I do hope you love them!!








There is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!
 
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley ~




 




Listen!  the wind is rising,
and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings,
now for October eves!
 
~ Humbert Wolfe ~









Crispy air and azure skies,
High above, a white cloud flies,
Bright as newly fallen snow.
Oh the joy to those who know October!

Colors bright on bush and tree.
Over the weedy swamp, we see
A veil of purple and brown and gold.
Thy beauty words have never told. October!

Scolding sparrows on the lawn,
Rabbits frisking home at dawn,
Pheasants midst the sheaves of grain,
All in harmony acclaim, October!

Brown earth freshly turned by plow,
Apples shine on bended bough,
Bins o'erflowed with oats and wheat,
And satisfaction reigns complete. October!

Radiant joy is everywhere.
Spirits in tune to the spicy air,
Thrill in the glory of each day.
Life's worth living when we say, October!

~ Joseph Pullman Porter ~







I am rich today with autumn's gold,
All that my covetous hands can hold;
Frost-painted leaves and goldenrod,
A goldfinch on a milkweed pod,
Huge golden pumpkins in the field
With heaps of corn from a bounteous yield,
Golden apples heavy on the trees
Rivaling those of Hesperides,
Golden rays of balmy sunshine spread
Over all like butter on warm bread;
And the harvest moon will this night unfold
The streams running full of molten gold.
Oh, who could find a dearth of bliss
With autumn glory such as this!
 
~ Gladys Harp ~




Wishing you all a wonderful Monday my precious friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Old sheet music has the most heavenly graphics. They did not "spare the horses" in their design.

Charming snips of poetry for autumn throughout. Love it! Hope that you're enjoying your rainy day.
