Bridge in the Winsord County, Vermont (United States)

 With what a glory comes and goes the year!The buds of spring, those beautiful harbingers
Of sunny skies and cloudless times, enjoy
Life’s newness, and earth’s garniture spread out;
And when the silver habit of the clouds
Comes down upon the autumn sun, and with
A sober gladness the old year takes up
His bright inheritance of golden fruits,
A pomp and pageant fill the splendid scene.

In the poem Autumn

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
