THIS AUTUMN NIGHT, by                    
First Line: The year is turning, yet I...Yet I
Last Line: Watch glory flame to ash with stifled breath!
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall


The year is turning, yet I ... yet I,
Shifting my restless eyes upon the world,
See change I do not understand. I cry
Aloud, "Bright panorama just unfurled,
Quiet my protest. Show me how all this
Is God's eternal pattern." Life and death
Merge valiantly this autumn night ... yet I
Watch glory flame to ash with stifled breath!
