<h2><SPAN name="topic6" id="topic6"></SPAN>Autumn Days</h2>
<div class="poem">
<div class="stanza">
<p>When bright-hued leaves from tree and thicket fall,</p>
<p>And on the ground their autumn carpet strew;</p>
<p>And overhead the wild geese honking call,</p>
<p>In wedge-shaped column, high amid the blue;</p>
</div>
<div class="stanza">
<p>When from the sagebrush, and from mountain high,</p>
<p>The quail's soft note reechoes far and wide;</p>
<p>When hunter moon hangs crescent in the sky,</p>
<p>And wild deer range on rugged mountain side;</p>
</div>
<div class="stanza">
<p>When old primeval instincts, nature born,</p>
<p>Stir in the hunter's blood with lust to kill,</p>
<p>And drive him forth with dog and gun, at morn,</p>
<p>To sheltered blind, or runway 'neath the hill—</p>
</div>
<div class="stanza">
<p>All these proclaim the glorious autumn days,</p>
<p>When Nature spends her wealth with lavish hand,</p>
<p>And o'er the landscape spreads a purple haze,</p>
<p>And waves her magic scepter o'er the land.</p>
