Summer begins to have the look

Emily Dickinson

Summer begins to have the look Peruser of enchanting Book Reluctantly but sure perceives A gain upon the backward leaves --

Autumn begins to be inferred By millinery of the cloud Or deeper color in the shawl That wraps the everlasting hill.

The eye begins its avarice A meditation chastens speech Some Dyer of a distant tree Resumes his gaudy industry.

Conclusion is the course of All At most to be perennial And then elude stability Recalls to immortality.
