OCTOBER

I will lay me down and fall
asleep.

drifting leaves will cover me


I will lay behind this wall
to weep.

heavy stones will shield me.

I will lay here in your thrall
and deep

your wings will shadow o'er me

oh autumn,
what a crimson-falling wall you are,
a quiet, witching thing
the apples and chrysanthemums are causing me to sing!
