There is something in the autumn that is native ______ my blood—
Touch of manner, hint of mood;
And ______ heart is like a rhyme,
With the yellow and ______ purple and the crimson keeping time.
The scarlet of ______ maples can shake me like a cry
Of bugles ______ by.
And my lonely spirit thrills
To see the ______ asters like a smoke upon the hills.
There is ______ in October sets the gypsy blood astir;
We must ______ and follow her,
When from every hill of flame
______ calls and calls each vagabond by name.
