I had a notion as I watched
Late summer’s sun descending
Like the final hour of jewelweed flowers
Impatience at its ending
Chorus:
Give to me the goldenrod
And the sweet New England aster
Sway the ever-setting sun
To keep time from moving faster
When vital green begins to blush
In full chromatic splendor
The trembling trees will yield their leaves
In musky-sweet surrender
Fleeting fields of purple and gold
Paint Autumn’s mirthful chorus
But alone the plumes of winterbloom
Shall face the frost before us
Through sunless stretch of slush and toil
When shadow’s forms are sprawling
Those bygone blooms that left so soon
I’m constantly recalling
A crocus mid persistent snow
Defies the reign of winter
The bleak and grey must fade away
For the green of life to enter
As waves roll on the constant sea
So steady flow the seasons
But the heart abides for a chosen tide
Content with its own reasons
