Song for Autumn by Mary Oliver
Don’t you imagine the leaves dream now
how comfortable it will be to touch
the earth instead of the
nothingness of the air and the endless
freshets of wind? And don’t you think
the trees, especially those with
mossy hollows, are beginning to look for
the birds that will come—six, a dozen—to sleep inside their bodies? And don’t you hear
the goldenrod whispering goodbye,
the everlasting being crowned with the first
tuffets of snow? The pond
stiffens and the white field over which
the fox runs so quickly brings out
its long blue shadows. The wind wags
its many tails. And in the evening
the piled firewood shifts a little,
longing to be on its way.
Faces of Wave Hill
Here, visitors might discover a planting or plant combination that’s relatable and imagine, 'maybe I could do this; I could make this.' That intimacy, that scale, allows visitors to fully get away, to breathe and let the experience wash over them. It’s like coming back home.
Support Wave Hill
During these extraordinary times, the need for green and open spaces is essential to help us all heal and restore. You can help preserve Wave Hill and ensure our gardens and grounds continue to thrive. All donations, big and small, make a difference!
