October
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes’ sake along the wall.
October, by Robert Frost
