Written in Autumn . O AUTUMN ! how I love thy pensive air , Thy yellow garb , thy visage sad and dun ! When from the misty east the labouring Sun Bursts through thy fogs , that gathering round him , dare Obscure his beams , which , though enfeebled , dart On the cold , dewy plains a lustre bright : But chief , the sounds of thy reft woods delight ; Their deep , low murmurs to my soul impart A solemn stillness , while they seem to speak Of Spring , of Summer now for ever past , Of drear , approaching Winter , and the blast Which shall ere long their soothing quiet break : Here , when for faded joys my heaving breast Throbs with vain pangs , here will I love to rest .
