LOVE AUTUMNALMy love will come in autumn-timeWhen leaves go spinning to the groundAnd wistful stars in heaven chimeWith the leaves’ sound.Then, we shall walk through dusty lanesAnd pause beneath low-hanging boughs,And there, while soft-hued beauty reignsWe’ll make our vows.Let others seek in spring for sighsWhen love flames forth from every seed;But love that blooms when nature diesIs love indeed!OLIVER JENKINS
