Non-PRO English to Spanish Art/Literary Linguistics

Context:

The first of the November mornings, but the summer had tarried late, and the wood to the south of our homestead lifted itself like a painted wall against the sky ... [description of the woods] Tithe and blithe he was, for his harvest was come. From the cracked beech-burs was dropping the sweet, angular fruit, and down from the hickory boughs with every gust fell a shower of nuts —shelling clean and silvery from their thick, black hulls.

From a short story by Alice Carey, US author, 19th century prose.

[Tithe and blithe ???] estaba él porque su cosecha había llegado.
