Epitaph

Serenedescent, as a red leaf’s descendingWhen there is neither wind nor noise of rain,But only autumn air and the unendingDrawing of all things to the earth again:So be it; let the snow sift deep and coverAll that was drunken once with light and air;The earth will not regret her tireless lover,Nor he awake to know she does not care.

Serenedescent, as a red leaf’s descending

When there is neither wind nor noise of rain,

But only autumn air and the unending

Drawing of all things to the earth again:

So be it; let the snow sift deep and coverAll that was drunken once with light and air;The earth will not regret her tireless lover,Nor he awake to know she does not care.

So be it; let the snow sift deep and cover

All that was drunken once with light and air;

The earth will not regret her tireless lover,

Nor he awake to know she does not care.
