In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons !
Something bright in all !
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
Robert Louis Stevenson
This poem is from "A Child's Garden of Verses" , one of my daughters favorites when she was a little girl (30+ years ago) you can see from the .49c price tag it's been around awhile, it survived many readings with my daughter and then my Grandchildren.
Some of our favorites from it are "the swing", "Bed in summer", "The Cow", and "my shadow"....................
Did you have a favorite poem from this book?????
