The year has come so soon
To the summit of the hill,
The brief climb done, the tale
All told for good or ill.
Upon the path behind
Lie mysteries of June
And April's tears and fruit
Beneath an August moon.
The silver-crested May,
October's scarlet bough,
The bird that sang, the rose
That died, are all one now.
The year has golden grain,
And brown leaves to remember
Beneath the quiet stars
Of ultimate December.
