When I think how the winds of Fall
Now soothe my hot tormented frame,
I wonder that I feared at all
The fading of the Summer's flame,
Or longed to keep those fiery rays
From passing with the length of days.
The calmness of the Autumn breeze,
The unrushed comfort of cool skies,
Give me an unknown sense of ease
And freedom from those fervent cries
That always, in a younger age,
Had urged me to desire and rage.
With hints of such new things in store,
And diff‘rent measures than I'd used,
I now anticipate life more,
Look forward, and can be amused
At my old doubts; nor shall I fear
The Winter that will close this year.
