🍃🍂🍃🍂 It will not always be like this, The air windless, a few last Leaves adding their decoration To the trees' shoulders, braiding the cuffs Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening 🌳🌲🟩 🐦🍀🌄 In the lawns mirror. Having Looked up from the day's chores, pause a minute, Let the mind take its photograph Of the bright scene, Something to wear Against the heart in the long cold. 🏠⛄❄🌫 🌬
A day in Autumn- R S Thomas
🍃🍂🍃🍂
It will not always be like this,
The air windless, a few last Leaves adding their decoration
To the trees' shoulders, braiding the cuffs
Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening
🌳🌲🟩 🐦🍀🌄
In the lawns mirror. Having Looked up from the day's chores, pause a minute,
Let the mind take its photograph
Of the bright scene, Something to wear
Against the heart in the long cold.
