by Helge Rode (1870 - 1937)

Høst
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Nu gyder Høsten sit gyldne Blod
og blodigt Guld over Skove.
[De spejler]1 sig stille i Sø og Flod.
Den blide glidende Vove.

Se, Birken staar som det lyse Guld,
og Asken som gule Topaser.
[Men]2 grøn er Rønnen og tung og fuld
af røde Rubiner i Klaser.

Som blaagrøn [Fløjel]3 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]4, den dør,
saa lykkeør, 
saa farvedrukken og svimmel.
