Autumn Fires

Robert Louis Stevenson(1850–1894)

1885

IN the other gardensAnd all up the vale,From the autumn bonfiresSee the smoke trail!

Pleasant summer overAnd all the summer flowers,The red fire blazes,The grey smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons!Something bright in all!Flowers in the summer,Fires in the fall!
