Autumn Feelings.

Topics: classic

Flourish greener, as ye clamber,     Oh ye leaves, to seek my chamber,     Up the trellis'd vine on high!     May ye swell, twin-berries tender,     Juicier far, and with more splendour     Ripen, and more speedily!     O'er ye broods the sun at even     As he sinks to rest, and heaven     Softly breathes into your ear     All its fertilising fullness,     While the moon's refreshing coolness,     Magic-laden, hovers near;     And, alas! ye're watered ever     By a stream of tears that rill     From mine eyes tears ceasing never,     Tears of love that nought can still!
