Sad thoughts and sunny weather;

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness!

And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core.

Of melancholy, tenderer in its moods
Than any joy indulgent Summer dealt.

O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained
With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit
Beneath my shady roof; there thou mayest rest
And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,
And all the daughters of the year shall dance!
Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.
