Printable Vintage Art: Autumn 1905

Fall has always been my favorite season.
The time when everything bursts with its last beauty,
as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.
― Lauren DeStefano, Wither

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
as I have seen in one autumnal face.
― John Donne, The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose

“After all," Anne had said to Marilla once,
"I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those
on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens
but just those that bring simple little pleasures,
following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

19th Century Public Domain Poem: Good-Night by W.T. Peters (Poetry for Kids)

GOOD-NIGHT
by W.T. Peters
(Originally published 1881)

GOOD-NIGHT, happy stars,
With your yellow eyes,
Good-night, lady moon,
In the evening skies;
Good-night, dusky world
And the boundless deep;
I am tired out;
It is time to sleep ―
Time, time to sleep.
Good-night! Good-night!

Good-night, weary boy;
It has been decreed
That some mysteries
Only a child can read;
But the sweet child-heart
May you always keep,
And the stars will be yours
And the boundless deep ―
The boundless, boundless deep.
Good-night! Good-night!
