PROGRAM NOTE

 

Autumn is a setting of two short poems by Emily Brontë (1818-1848).
 

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
 

O come with me, thus rang the song,
The moon is bright in Autumn’s sky,
And thou hast toiled and laboured long,
With aching head and weary eye.
