AUTUMN’S CHALLENGE 
What, that tangy autumn nip! 
Frost is on the way, 
Flowers of summer bow their heads, 
They have had their day. 
Gardener, take the challenge up! 
Now comes work for spring, 
Cut down dead stalks, pull up dire weeds, 
They have had their fling. 
Dreams of glory fill the heart! 
Tuck the brown ‘bulbs deep, 
Pack firm the earth about your plants, 
They’ll grow even while they sleep.
