Shown by their outlines drawn against the hills,

Chimneys and roofs, trees, single and in groups,

Bright curves of brooks, and vanishing mountain-top

Expand upon my sight, October’s brush

The scene has color’d; not with those broad hues

Mix’d in his later pallet by the frost,

And dash’d upon the picture till the eye

Aches with varied splendor, but in tints

Left by light, scatter’d touches. Overhead

There is a blending of cloud, haze, and sky,
