Alone, I stand in the shadowy autumn dusk
A sweetness tasted in the air, remains;
And the evening smells of softest, darkest, musk.
To leave this place would break me in my heart
But I can longer bear to be apart.
I watch the clouds lay down, on the horizon,
And start to feel the shawl of night descend;
The reddened countryside, more so, within the sun.
To feel the moons attention turn my way,
Sends my heart and mind, away, to yearn for day.
The house behind me beckons me as well,
But I will find no comfort in those arms;
In darkness I wander, farther then I can tell.
I rest myself upon a seat of stone, so cold
And I sit, as the days, and I, grow old.
