-I marked the slow withdrawal of the year,
-Out on the hills the scarlet maples shone--
-The glad, first herald of triumphant dawn.
-A robin's song fell through the silence--clear
-As long ago it rang when June was here.
-Then, suddenly, a few grey clouds were drawn
-Across the sky; and all the song was gone,
-And all the gold was quick to disappear,
-That day the sun seemed loth to come again;
-And all day long the low wind spoke of rain,
-Far off, beyond the hills; and moaned, like one
-Wounded, among the pines: as though the Earth,
-Knowing some giant grief had come to birth,
-Had wearied of the Summer and the Sun.
-
-

-
-I watched the slow oncoming of the Fall.
-Slowly the leaves fell from the elms, and lay
-Along the roadside; and the wind's strange way
-Was their way, when they heard the wind's far call.
-The crimson vines that clung along the wall
-Grew thin as snow that lives on into May;
-Grey dawn, grey noon,--all things and hours were grey,
-When quietly the darkness covered all.
-And while no sunset flamed across the west,
-And no great moon rose where the hills were low,
-The day passed out as if it had not been:
-And so it seemed the year sank to its rest,
-Remembering naught, desiring naught,--as though
-Early in Spring its young leaves were not green.
-
-
-
-
-                                  III
-
-A little while before the Fall was done
-A day came when the frail year paused and said:
-"Behold! a little while and I am dead;
-Wilt thou not choose, of all the old dreams, one?"
-Then dwelt I in a garden, where the sun
-Shone always, and the roses all were red;
-Far off, the great sea slept, and overhead,
-Among the robins, matins had begun.
-And I knew not at all it was a dream
-Only, and that the year was near its close;
-Garden and sunshine, robin-song and rose,
-The half-heard murmur and the distant gleam
-Of all the unvext sea, a little space
-Were as a mist above the Autumn's face.
-
-
-
-
-                                   IV
-
-And in this garden sloping to the sea
-I dwelt (it seemed) to watch a pageant pass,--
-Great Kings, their armour strong with iron and brass,
-Young Queens, with yellow hair bound wonderfully.
-For love's sake, and because of love's decree,
-Most went, I knew; and so the flowers and grass
-Knew my steps also: yet I wept Alas,
-Deeming the garden surely lost to me.
-But as the days went over, and still our feet
-Trod the warm, even places, I knew well
-(For I, as they, followed the close-heard beat
-Of Love's wide wings who was her sentinel)
-That here had Beauty built her citadel
-And only we should reach her mercy-seat.
-
-
-
-
-                                   V
-
-And ye, are ye not with me now alway?--
-Thy raiment, Glauce, shall be my attire!
-East of the Sun I, too, seek my desire!
-My kisses, also, quicken the well-wrought clay!
-And thou, Alcestis, lest my little day
-Be done, art glad to die!  Upon my pyre,
-O Brynhild, let thine ashes feed the fire!
-And, O thou Wood Sun, pray for me, I pray!
-Yea, ye are mine!  Yet there remaineth one
-Who maketh Summer-time of all the year,
-Whose glory darkeneth the very sun.
-For thee my sword was sharpened and my spear,
-For thee my least poor deed was dreamed and done,
-O Love, O Queen, O Golden Guenevere!
-
-
-
-
-                                   VI
-
-Then, suddenly, I was awake.  Dead things
-Were all about me and the year was dead.
-Save where the birches grew, all leaves were shed
-And nowhere fell the sound of song or wings.
-The fields I deemed were graves of worshipped Kings
-Had lost their bloom; no honey-bee now fed
-Therein, and no white daisy bowed its head
-To harken to the wind's love-murmurings.
-Yet, by my dream, I know henceforth for me
-This time of year shall hold some unknown grace
-When the leaves fall, and shall be sanctified:
-As April only comes for memory
-Of him who kissed the veil from Beauty's face
-That we might see, and passed at Easter-tide.

-*1.F.*
-
-*1.F.1.* Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

-Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg(tm) electronic works, and the

-not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription
-errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a
-defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer

-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg(tm)
-
-
-Project Gutenberg(tm) is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg(tm)'s
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg(tm) collection will remain
-freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and
-permanent future for Project Gutenberg(tm) and future generations. To
-learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and
-how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
-Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org .
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
-Foundation
-

-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state
-of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue
-Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is
-64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
-http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf . Contributions to the
-Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the
-full extent permitted by U.S.  federal laws and your state's laws.

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-
-Project Gutenberg(tm) depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where
-we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
-visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
-statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside
-the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways
-including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate,
-please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg(tm) electronic
-works.
-
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg(tm)
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg(tm) eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg(tm) eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless
-a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks
-in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook
-number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
-compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
-
-Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
-the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
-_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
-new filenames and etext numbers.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
-    http://www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg(tm),
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
