Explore "Lines for a Picture" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When the leaves are flying / Across the azure sky, / Autumn on the hill top / Turns to say good-by;
In her gold-red tunic, / Like an Eastern queen, / With untarnished courage / In her wilding mien.
All the earth below her / Answers to her gaze, / And her eyes are pensive / With remembered days.
Yet, with cheek ensanguined, / Gay at heart she goes / On the great adventure / Where the north wind blows.
