Autumn Feelings

Autumn Feelings

FLOURISH greener,as ye clamber,

Oh ye leaves,to seek my chamber,

Up the trellis’d[190]vine on high！

May ye swell,twin-berries tender,

Juicier far,—and with more splendour

Ripen,and more speedily!

O’er ye broods the sun at even

As he sinks to rest,and heaven

Softly breathes into your ear(https://www.daowen.com)

All its fertilising fullness,

While the moon’s refreshing coolness,

Magic-laden,hovers near;

And,alas!ye’re watered ever

By a stream of tears[191]that rill

From mine eyes-tears ceasing never,

Tears of love that nought can still!
