First Line: As leaves go down to autumn
Last Line: From the peace of midian.
Subject(s): Autumn; Evening; Seasons; Summer; Fall; Sunset; Twilight
As leaves go down to autumn,
Leaving summer drying,
Bare and dying,
Lying in the memory of sun,
Crying for the memory of soft voices,
Thus it is that evening comes
Across the harbor from the sunset
Like Moses coming down to Egypt
From the peace of Midian.
