NOVEMBER by JOHN COWPER POWYS

First Line: I WILL COME BACK TO YOU AND YOU TO ME
Last Line: I WILL COME BACK TO YOU AND YOU TO ME.
Subject(s): FISH & FISHING; GRASS; NOVEMBER; SEA; TREES; OCEAN;
I will come back to you and you to me;
When the poplar-trees blow white and the rooks fly home,
And the fishermen draw their nets out of the sea;
I will come back to you and you to me.

When across the flooded weirs the wild-fowl fly,
When the dead leaves fall from each remembered tree,
When over the withered grass the plovers cry,
I will come back to you and you to me.
