THESE are the tawny days: your face comes back. The grapes take on purple: the sunsets redden early on the trellis. The bashful mornings hurl gray mist on the stripes of sunrise. Creep, silver on the field, the frost is welcome. Run on, yellow ***** on the hills, and you tawny pumpkin flowers, chasing your lines of orange. Tawny days: and your face again.

THESE are the tawny days: your face comes back. The grapes take on purple: the sunsets redden early on the trellis. The bashful mornings hurl gray mist on the stripes of sunrise. Creep, silver on the field, the frost is welcome. Run on, yellow ***** on the hills, and you tawny pumpkin flowers, chasing your lines of orange. Tawny days: and your face again.
Carl Sandburg
1878 - 1967/Male/American
