[title] => The First Day Of Autumn.

[hometext] => First day Of September and Autumn is in the hills, the sun is shining and the fields are glowing at summer's end.
[bodytext] => The first day of autumn And the sky is delirious with sunshine. Alive with Mallard and Coot and Moor Hen The cool water of the lake swims Through an image a thousand years in the making. The hedgerows are all a quiver with tiny birds, Their harvest beaks dripping crimson in the green. The hills break cover at last And lured by the warmth of the horizon They edge away to where the vast blue sky splits in two And oozes the warm lather of sun. Below, the morning path snakes across the valley floor And the hot, parched, dusty sheep Cling like ivy to the hillside. A cooing chorus of pigeons echo in the heat And the air ferments the last fruits of summer.
