O I fear growing old and pale as another
Solemn autumn is fast approaching. I feel that
Summer's warm colours and fragrant songs are too brief.
The seasons now appear to change so rapidly.
I didn't perceive things this way, so long ago,
When I was aboy. Time cast no eerie shadows.
Everything seemed to unfold like a slow dream:
The type of dream that is captured bypoetry.
