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.

Her home is some miles away down the road in Amherst. I visit it every now and then..... Emily's words are so indescribeably delicious! Thank you for posting this lovely poem.
