letra de christian milne - written in september 1804 - richard mitchley

brown autumn’s come, dispersing leaves
on all the winds–and nodding sheaves
she brings, with reapers in her train
who gather in the yellow grain
in amalthea ‘s teeming h-rn
she brings the choicest fruits and corn
rich plenty smiles among the fields–
its blushing fruits the orchard yields;
each blessing sprung from earthly clod
does loudly praise the bounteous god
from whose great power each plant has birth
and grows to feed the sons of earth
the forest’s leafy honours fade–
they brown and yellow strew thе shade:
see yon rich spot, where latеly grew
in gaudy pride of every hue
the fairest flowers; their beauty fled–
now nought remains but podded seed!
yon th-rny shrub still fragrance throws
where droops the lately blooming rose;
the faded rose and wither’d thyme
as fragrant breathe as in their prime
the human race, tho’ youth be past–
tho’ age their bloom and vigour blast–
still lovely seem, if from their youth
they’ve kept the pleasant paths of truth
when from their lips their mortal breath
shall ‘scape, and leave their dust in death
still fragrance will perfume their name–
from age to age ’twill bloom the same
