Mid scenes like this undauntedBy coming winters tramp, In a vale beside a river, The Nomads are in camp.

For autumns gaudiest dress is spread, In variegated sheen,Oer tree and vine and towering wall, And vale that lies between. The oak in bronze, the cherry red, With linden just a-browning;While leaning oer the rivers bed,The elms leaves are frowning. Box-elders rear a silvered headDown by the shaded stream— And asp
