The morns are meeker than...

*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Autumn
by Emily Dickinson

The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,

The rose is out of town.

{Nope, not these Old Roses, not yet}

The maple wears a gayer scarf,

{Yes, 'tis true}

The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.

{Do you remember this, Penny?}
