Beneath the sun at indolent noonday,

Or in the windy moon-enchanted night,

Who have once reined in their steeds at any shrine,

And given them water from the well divine.—

The orchards are all ripened, and the sun

Spots the deserted gleanings with decay;

The seeds are perfected: his work is done,

And Autumn lingers but to outsmile the May;

Bidding his tinted leaves glide, bidding clear

Unto clear skies the birds applaud the year.
