First Line: The heavy thrall / of the sobbing call
Last Line: Dead leaf.
Subject(s): Autumn
The heavy thrall
Of the sobbing call
Of the fall
Weighs, nor departs,
Like my heart's
Pall.
Overcome
And dumb,
As the hours creep
I see the haze
Of olden days
And weep.
And I go away
The wind's prey,
In barren, brief
Whirl hither and yon
Like a wan
Dead leaf.
