Transition Fall Comes To The Orono Creek Ip summer days with verdant boughs displayed, And cedars dipped into your babbling flow, The nesting birds seek out your cooling shade, And watercress beside your verges grow. Still down that serpent course you wander, O'er make-shift dams that truant boys have made, Till at the Mill Pond now you ponder, Among the rushes in a leafy glade. The fall rains come with gusts of wind and thunder, Each corn patch knows a visiting racoon, But still your banks conceal a wealth of wonder Where bullfrogs contemplate the moon. But November comes and colored leaves have fallen, The naked maples reach into a sullen sky, Winds are courting frost, and calves are bawling, Goldenrod shrivels, for the time has come to die. The Bluejay shrieks through leafless boughs at daybreak, daybreak, As though protesting what is now revealed - Rusty oil drums, cast-off tires, and garbage, Scraps of lumber, wrecks of cars with fenders peeled.
