IN NOVEMBER

IN NOVEMBERWith autumn and the flaring leaves our love must end—Ere flauntful spring shall mock thy tears and my despairWith blossoms red or pale, some April bride may wear:Now, while the weary, grey, forgetful heavens bendAbove the grief and languor of the dying lands,In one last kiss shall meet and mingle and expireThe muted, last, remembering sighs of our desire;And on my face the flower-like burden of thy handsShall rest a little, and be taken tenderly,And, ah, how lightly hence! And in thy golden eyes,Thy love, and all the ashen glory of the skies,Shall mingle, and as in a mirror lie for me.

With autumn and the flaring leaves our love must end—

Ere flauntful spring shall mock thy tears and my despair

With blossoms red or pale, some April bride may wear:

Now, while the weary, grey, forgetful heavens bend

Above the grief and languor of the dying lands,In one last kiss shall meet and mingle and expireThe muted, last, remembering sighs of our desire;And on my face the flower-like burden of thy hands

Above the grief and languor of the dying lands,

In one last kiss shall meet and mingle and expire

The muted, last, remembering sighs of our desire;

And on my face the flower-like burden of thy hands

Shall rest a little, and be taken tenderly,And, ah, how lightly hence! And in thy golden eyes,Thy love, and all the ashen glory of the skies,Shall mingle, and as in a mirror lie for me.

Shall rest a little, and be taken tenderly,

And, ah, how lightly hence! And in thy golden eyes,

Thy love, and all the ashen glory of the skies,

Shall mingle, and as in a mirror lie for me.
