GARDEN BLOGGERS' MUSE DAY



OCTOBER

O hushed October morning mild
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.

O hushed October morning mild
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief;
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees;
one from far away.

-Robert Frost

  1. Robert Frost is very apt for October (Frost/1st frost). ;) That's an appropriately moody poem, good choice. I posted something for Muse Day.
