Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
A description of the experience
October
Mellow October
He turns our green to yellow
Our drunk to sober
Our shrill to bass and cello
Scatters our leaves
Tears to wistful tatters
Or ties in sheaves
All (so we think) that matters
Midsummer glory
Bared in her lusty humour
To frost and fury
With Winter the next comer
Rages October
Yet in his moody pages
Scan we them over
Sums up the golden ages
Glummer no story
Than his; yet every comma
Dropt seed of glory
Betokens a new summer.
