October / H. Cordelia Ray


October

The mellow moon hangs golden in the sky,
The vintage song is over, far and nigh
A richer beauty Nature weareth now,
And silently in reverence we bow
Before the forest altars, off'ring praise
To Him who sweetness gives to all our days.

~~
H. Cordelia Ray (1852-1916)
from Poems, 1910
