“Pale amber sunlight falls across
The reddening October trees,
That hardly sway before a breeze
As soft as summer: summer’s loss
Seems little, dear! on days like these.”
~ Ernest Dowson (English poet and novelist, 1867 – 1900)

Gladly shared by Betty Hanselman
Gardener’s wife (& inspired by October)
