OCTOBER

 

We stood at the edge of the forest,
The friend of my heart and I,
Where the sunset glow of the dogwood
Met the sunset glow of the sky.
The breath of the coming winter
Came down from the pine-clad hill;
Its shadow crept over the landscape
And over our hearts its chill.
Edith Palmer, "October Violets," c.1872

What a lovely poem to go with your sweet needlework. Which stitch did you use to make the flowers? It is beautiful.
