Drips, November clouds, all gray On sullen trees shook raiment bare. Last leaves fall like brownish tears Ice-flecked rain drops, frigid air. Cold and wet, and wet and cold, A beat, that warns, that winter's near. * A change of rule in Hazel found, That thinks it spring on mountain sides Where yellow ribbon, blossoms bear (a match, in hue of gold in bees) The last to buzz, before snow flies. * Sent, are blue-cold, fan-rays down From cloud gray skies, to light the path Where dry leaves scratch, a rustle sound Along the trail, where pig-nuts Scatter marbles on the ground. * Is now that some must stay (without reprive) and leavers On long journeys trust, they know When leaves once green in summer,past Are struck by frost and frozen brown, And show beneath, our passing feet In colors of burnt-umber on the ground; That these are signs, that they must go... * Falling down are ancient sounds Of wanderlust, played high and loud In chortle quacks, and whistles blown Through wing tip, rapid beats; That move them quickly, southward bound... * end |
