First Line: Wind in the sunlit trees, and the red leaves fall
Last Line: Making the trees more scarlet, the sky more blue.
Subject(s): Memory; Love
Wind in the sunlit trees, and the red leaves fall;
Shadows of leaves on the sunlit wall.
Wind in the turning tops of the trees . . .
I am reminded, seeing these,
Of an afternoon, and you
Making the trees more scarlet, the sky more blue.
