The Autumnal Romance

1903
I watch you as coldly as never,
But can?t keep this pine in my breast,
Today sun?s in smoke of havens,
And sadness makes heavy a breath.

I know, I breed just a fable ?
At least, trust to fables, - but you??
Like needless oblations, in alleys,
Leaves fall in the mournful hue.

We?re joined by the fate that was blinded:
Would God join us `there? ? behind sky??
Don?t laugh, if in spring days, delighted,
You?ll step on the lives that here die.
