This is a poem of both wisdom and charm, an absolute delight on a November morning. "Let colors shine while there is light ..." I could not agree more!

Just when I think I'm full up of all the autumn poems to love (it's my favorite season), you share things like Adelaide Crapsey's and this lovely, celebratory-while-still-melancholy poem today. Just beautiful.

Marvellous! There is a lot of balancing up to do about night and this poem goes quite a way toward that correction. What a pleasure.
