Autumn Fires
(By Robert Louis Stevenson)
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 season!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
