AUTUMN WIND, by                    
First Line: Now speaks the naked wind alone
Last Line: It is the only endless song.
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Wind; Fall


NOW speaks the naked wind alone
Since earth's frail poetry is done,
And summer's tuneful lips are sealed.

The dusk is deep on every field
Where flowers glimmered, white and cool
As stars repeated in a pool.

I find, as through the night I pass,
Silence where every music was.

A softer silence falls for each
Lost syllable of silver speech,
And sinks and settles to a hush;

The stillness is one sound: the rush
Of the wind's singing, soft and strong.

It is the only endless song.
