well we have this project about poems and I choose this one;

Autumn sonnet
Catherine Marshall

Here where the wind sends out its warning call
In final burst of beauty gaily sung,
And earth on tiptoe stands enthralled
At such mad revelry of old and young;
Here late goldrod lifts its head, arrayed
In silent eloquence by dusty ways,
Like prisons where the ssummer sun is stayed
To add sweet warmth to autumn's shortening days.

And bright leaves dance before the drunken blast
Like scattered husks of demon gods' desires,
In wanton, festive merriment-the-last-
Before drab winter, earth's last toll requires.

So,too, leaps high and red my soul's brave light
Defying still the endlessness of night.
