How many stanzas does this poem have?
The morning mist lies soft and grey,
Along the quiet, winding lane,
It hides the opening of the day,
And whispers of the coming rain.
The trees are turning gold and red,
As autumn starts to take its hold,
The summer days have finally fled,
A story that is quickly told.
The sun breaks through to shine at last,
A sudden warmth in chilly air,
A moment holding to the past,
With beauty resting everywhere.
