"How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!"
(Psalm 92:5)

Today it still is summer,
Tomorrow it will be fall.
I see the purple asters,
I hear the autumn's call.
I feel the warm sun shining
As a balmy south wind blows;
I see more flowers blooming
And I see the grass still grows;
The goldenrod is waving,
The bees are in the clover,
I hear a distant honking-
The geese are flying over.
The maple leaves are golden;
The pumpkins, round and yellow,
The apple cheeks are rosy
The pears are getting mellow.
The nuts are growing rounder,
The cornstalks brown and sear,
By twenty lovely tokens
I know that fall is near.
Today is still summer,
Tomorrow will be fall,
Today still I am barefoot--
Oh, how I love it all!
"Summer and Fall"
Nora Keen Duffy
(1893-1989)
American poetess
