The Autumn Day

Lord: it is time. The summer was immense.
Lay your shadow upon the sundials,
and let the winds loose in the fields.

Command the final fruits to swell;
grant them yet two more southern days,
urge them to grow ripe and press
the final sweetness into the heavy wine.

Whoever has no house now will build none more.
Whoever is alone now will remain so long,
will stay awake, read, write long letters,
and wander restlessly through avenues,
back and forth, while the leaves are drifting.
