By way of difference this week, I've been re-reading my Greek mythology, so here is a very Pagan poem or prayer for Autumn, drawing on the Greek pantheon:
A Harvest Prayer
Aiolos, O Guardian of the wind
Of storms across land and sea
Though mortal man has sinned
Pray not to let the tempest free
Euros, bring warm autumn sun
And favour harvests in the fall
Let festivals make merry fun
Pray turn aside the fiercer squall
Pray that Gaea's gift to the sky-gods
Brings golden apples, sunsets fine
For not by chance, cast die or odds
Comes ripening vine, and last of wine
Pray to the gods, their outstretched hands
Cast blessings on our autumn lands
