Poems (Browning)/Autumn (High from the sides of the mountain)

by Eunice Browning

For works with similar titles, see Autumn.

Autumn

High from the sides of the mountain The leaves in riot dance down,Tossed in the arms of the fitful winds, Or falling silent, alone,

Down to the shores of the river They whirl in rapturous glee,Skipping the sands to the water's edge, And floating on to the sea.
