In autumn

Language: English

Frail autumn lights upon the leaves 
Beacon the ending of the year. 
The windy rains are here. 
Wet nights and blowing winds about the eaves. 

Here in the valley, mists begin 
To breathe about the river side 
The breath of autumn-tide. 
The dark fields wait to take the harvest in. 

And you, and you are far away. 
Ah, this it is, and not the rain 
Now loud against the pane,
That ekes the light and colour from the day!
