THE WINDOW, by HILDA RIDLEY

First Line: She opened wide the window, drew
Last Line: Its beauty challenged and consoled.
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Windows; Fall
She opened wide the window, drew
The noble calm of autumn in,
And out on hissing wings there flew
The puerile care, the petty sin.
She drew the autumn greatness in,
Its gallant courage dressed in gold.
Its fortitude her soul restored,
Its beauty challenged and consoled.
