Autumn Presage
Just now a strange wind looked in in at my window,
Sighed down the chimney and rattled at the door.
He breathed his chilly breath in at my window
And a dead leaf flew in and settled on the floor.
Now, might and day, I hear strange voices crying,
through every silence their plaintive echoes throng;
I hear the little lilac bushes crying
And the great trees I hear lamenting all night long.
