He stumbled and the winds picked up
Gold foliage ‘round him sweeping,
Under their force, he simply dropped
And maidens began weeping.

And yet, he rose, and walked some more,
His destiny compelled him...
Took three more steps and as before,
He fell and no one helped him.

A lonesome hound, by the fence,
Continued barking out of boredom,
And street-lamps bowed their metal heads
To praise the passing Autumn.

Very interesting. I like this sort of "mystery" poem.

I wouldn't call it a "mystery" poem, but thanks!
