The name of it is “Autumn”
The hue of it is blood
An artery upon the hill
A vein along the road

Great globules in the alley
And oh, the shower of stain
When winds upset the basin
And spill the scarlet rain

It sprinkles bonnets far below
It gathers ruddy pools
Then eddies like a rose away
Upon Vermillion wheels

Emily Dickinson
