And come to the front door mother, here's a letter from thy

Lo, tis autumn,
Lo, where the trees, deeper green, yellower and redder,
Cool and sweeten Ohio's villages, with leaves fluttering in the
moderate wind,
Where apples ripe in the orchards hang and grapes on the
trellis'd vines

Smell you the buckwheat where the bees were lately buzzing?)
Above all to the sky so calm, so transparent after the rain, and
Wondrous clouds.
