On Autumn's Doorstep


Tomatoes are red-ripe and plump;
Green peppers shine in the sun;
Apples are red on bending branches;
And the harvest has begun.
Wild grapes swing in bunches
Like jewels on a vine,
And feathery heads of goldenrod
Stand out along a line.
Mornings are cool and moist
The change of autumn is in the air;
High noon is a time of mellow warmth;
On autumn's doorstep, September is here.
