Autumn Day
Lord: it is
time. The summer was immense.
Lay your shadow
on the sundials
and let loose
the wind in the fields.
Bid the last
fruits to be full;
give them
another two more southerly days,
press them to
ripeness, and chase
the last
sweetness into the heavy wine.
Whoever has no
house now will not build one
anymore.
Whoever is
alone now will remain so for a long
time,
will stay up,
read, write long letters,
and wander the
avenues, up and down,
restlessly,
while the leaves are blowing. ~ RainerMaria Rilke
The time is almost here when Autumn's sweet breath serenades the land, when begrudging leaves blush and hills turn a shade of gold and red. I have been in love with Autumn ever since I can remember. Greetings poets, wayfarers and friends it's a lovely day here in Kuala Lumpur and I am looking forward to reading poetry with a cup of coffee.

A lovely verse to start the day ~ if it was only true - indeed summer has been immense - and is still stretching her skirts and wings; we're still dying for the heat and extreme humidity - but then, it was snowing in parts of Canada too, yesterday! go figure 😂
ReplyDeleteI can say, I am definitely looking forward to Fall - but it's still waiting in the wings - so, Happy Tuesday everyone ... and thank you Sanaa for hosting today.
And here's hoping wherever you are, the weather is beautiful and the poeming speaks of magic.
Thank you so much, Pat 😊 Happy Tuesday to you too!💞☕
DeleteThank you for sharing the Rilke poem, Sanaa. I'm afraid I'm being lazy this morning after reading and commenting on quadrilles, so I've linked up an autumn poem I wrote back in June. Happy Tuesday! ;)
