Autumn Song (Paul Verlaine) Poem by Paul Abucean

Autumn Song (Paul Verlaine)

Long sobs and sighs
Violin-wise
Signal autumn.
They cause my heart
To slow and smart
From the bottom.

Woefully wan
And gasping, when
Bells toll deep in,
I call to mind
The days enshrined
And start weeping.

And so I ride
The fateful tide,
Ever sadly;
I drift around
For nowhere bound,
Like a dead leaf.
