Still the Goldenrod of the roadside clod Is of all, the best!
— Goldenrods
Still the Goldenrod of the roadside clod Is of all, the best!
I lie amid the Goldenrod,I'll pass into the rest of God.
Nature lies disheveled, pale, Goldenrod!
I know the lands are litWith all the autumn blaze of Goldenrod.
Because its myriad glimmering plumes I thank him for the Goldenrod.
Welcome, dear Goldenrod, once more, Hangs from thy laden stem.
And in the evening, everywhere Like lighted street-lamps in the town.
The hollows are heavy and dank With the steam of the Goldenrods.
Graceful, tossing plume of glowing gold, Clinging to the high cliff's ragged edge.
