Autumn Has Arrived!

Robed in pale silk plumes of kasa blooms,
Full-blown lotuses her beautiful face,
The calls of rapturous wild geese
The music of her anklet bells,
Ripening grain, lightly bending, her lissome form:
Autumn has now arrived, enchanting as a bride.
 Autumn from Ṛtusaṃhāra or Gathering of the Seasons by Kālidāsa (5th century CE)
*Note: Kasa is a name of a variety of grass.
