Høst
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Nu gyder Høsten sit gyldne Blod og blodigt Guld over Skove. De spejler sig stille i Sø og Flod. Den blide glidende Vove. Se, Birken staar som det lyse Guld, og Asken som gule Topaser. Men grøn er Rønnen og tung og fuld af røde Rubiner i Klaser. Som blaagrøn Fløjel er Fyrrens Dragt, som Kobberet Grene og Stammer. Men Granen staar i sin mørke Pragt blandt Buskenes blegrøde Flammer. Ah, Guld og Farver som aldrig før mod Ætherens blegblaa Himmel. Saa rig er Somren den Stund, den dør, saa lykkeør, saa farvedrukken og svimmel.
