Autumnal
~Ernest Dowson
The Poems and Prose Of Ernest Dowson
Pale amber sunlight falls across
The reddening October trees
That hardly sway before a breeze
As soft as a summer: summer's loss
Seems little, dear! On days like these
Let Misty autumn be our part!
The twilight of the year is sweet:
Where shadow and the darkness meet
Our love, a twilight of the heart
Eludes a little timer's deciet.
Are we not better and at home
In dreamful Autumn, we who deem
No harvest joy is worth a dream?
A little while and night shall come,
A little while, then, let us dream.
Beyond the pearled horizons lie
Winter and night: awaiting these
We garner this poor hour of ease,
Until love turn from us and die
Beneath the drear November trees.
