Слушать(AI)Autumn Days
I have been through the woods
And the leaves were falling,
Summer had crept away,
And the birds were not calling.
And the bracken was like yellow
That comes too late,
When the heart is sad and old,
And death at the gate.
Ah, mournful Autumn !
Sad,
Slow death that comes at last,
I am mad for a yesterday, mad !
I am sick for a year that is past!
Though the sun be like blood in the
He is cold as the lips of hate,
And he fires the sere leaves as they
On their bed of earth, too late.
They are dead, and the bare trees
Not loud as a mortal weeping,
But as sorrow that sighs in sleep,
And as grief that is still in sleeping.

The sun sinks down, the tremulous daylight dies (Down their long shafts the weary sunbeams glide )The white-winged ships drift with the falling tide, Come back, my love, with pity in your eyes
