  Along whose bed the glimmering stars are seen,
  Like gold and silver sands in some ravine
  Where mountain streams have left their channels bare!

Morn on the mountain, like a summer bird, Lifts up her purple wing, and in the vales The gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer, Kisses the blushing leaf, and stirs up life Within the solemn woods of ash deep-crimsoned, And silver beech, and maple yellow-leaved, Where Autumn, like a faint old man, sits down By the wayside a-weary.

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
