The word "AUTUMN" is printed in a dark red with the accompanying message:
"Mild is the parting year, and sweet
The odour of the falling spray;
Life passes on more ruddely fleet,
And balmeless is its closing day.
I wait its close, I court its gloom,
But mourn that never must there fall
On my breast or on my tomb
The tear that would have soothed it all."
- Walter Savage Landor.
