Today ( October 2nd) is National poetry day in the UK. As Autumn is taking hold , what better way to celebrate than with pictures of the seasons changing colours and a poem by Emily Bronte.
Fall,leaves, fall; die,flowers,away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
Emily Bronte.
Still, I am quite enjoying our Indian Summer. Loving the oranges and pink flower hues in the castle park.
Do you know any Autumn poems?
Lovely poem and gorgeous photos!
Thanks! I love the poem, never realised Emily Bronte even wrote any poetry until i saw this.x
