\u201cAUTUMNAL<\/p>\n

Pale amber sunlight falls across
\nThe reddening October trees,
\nThat hardly sway before a breeze
\nAs soft as summer: summer’s loss
\nSeems little, dear! on days like these.<\/p>\n

Let misty autumn be our part!
\nThe twilight of the year is sweet:
\nWhere shadow and the darkness meet
\nOur love, a twilight of the heart
\nEludes a little time’s deceit.<\/p>\n

Are we not better and at home
\nIn dreamful Autumn, we who deem
\nNo harvest joy is worth a dream?
\nA little while and night shall come,
\nA little while, then, let us dream.<\/p>\n

Beyond the pearled horizons lie
\nWinter and night: awaiting these
\nWe garner this poor hour of ease,
\nUntil love turn from us and die
\nBeneath the drear November trees.\u201d<\/p>\n
