OCTOBER.
Fire! fire! upon the maple bough,
The red flames of the frost.
Fire! fire! by burning woodbine, see,
The cottage-roof is crossed.
The hills are hid by smoky haze;
Look, how the roadside sumachs blaze!
And, on the withered leaves below,
The fallen leaves like bonfires glow.
— Mariou Douglas in "Religious Herald."
