The melancholy days have come, Which Mr. Bryant sings,Of wailing winds and naked woods, And other cheerful things.
The robin from the glen has flown, And there Matilda J.Now roams in quest of autumn leaves To press and put away.
Leaves in the sere, to school-girls dear, Are found where’er one looks,On hill, in vale, in wood, in field, But mostly in my books.
If I take up my Unabridged Some curious word to scan,Rare leaves are sped of green and red, Or maybe black and tan.
The book of books–my Bible–now I scarcely dare to touch,Lest it bring grief to some rare leaf– Ash, maple, oak, or such.
And if upon the lounge I lie To read while I repose,Lo! arid leaves in dusty sheaves Sift down upon my clothes.
“No more,” I swear in empty air, But straight invoke a broom,And soon St. Bridget comes and sweeps The rubbish from the room.
O autumn leaves, rare autumn leaves, So lovely out-of-doors,Strew the wild wood (you could or should), But muss not Christian floors!
Too late I know a solemn truth I did suspect before:These leaves that autumn branches bear Are an autumnal bore.
Charles H. Webb

About machholz
I started this Blog to get out of my system the absolute rage that I have for the corrupt politicians and their Banker Buddies. I’m an ordinary guy, married with kids, and have firm opinions of what is right and what is wrong. I’m not afraid to say it even when it makes me unpopular.
I reproduce news all manner of articles, but will always confirm the source of the articles; this is a compliment to the source of such news pieces. But if you do not agree with this and you are the original author, I will take down any article when requested to do so. I do not assume that the author of the news articles share with my views, I include news articles to give readers another slant to my views or to illustrate what the mainstream news media say on the relevant topic.
The opinions expressed are my own but I do not accept liability for them, If I have offended you or made a factual error please put on record the truth by leaving a comment.
In addition, my thoughts and opinions change from time to time...I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind. This weblog is intended to provide a semi-permanent point in time snapshot and manifestation of the various memes running around my brain, and as such any thoughts and opinions expressed within out-of-date posts may not the same, nor even similar, to those I may hold today.
For the record I am currently an Independent political activist and am not affiliated to any political party
