Tree on fire

POSTED IN classic poetry September 20, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

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 gray smoke towers.

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

by Robert Louis Stevenson
