Autumn Fires / Robert Louis Stevenson


Autumn Fires

In the other gardens
     And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
     See the smoke trail!

Pleasant summer over
      And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
     The grey smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons!
     Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
     Fires in the fall!

~~
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)
from A Child's Garden of Verses, 1885
