First Line: Out of autumn you came
Last Line: A dead leaf on the floor.
Subject(s): Death; Dead, The
Out of autumn you came
To me, one wind swept day;
To sit within my house,
To watch my fire play.
We scarcely spoke at all,
Your silence seemed to fill
My room with something sweet,
My restless soul grew still.
Today I heard you knock,
And went and threw the door
Quite wide, but only found
A dead leaf on the floor.
