| "Fall Canopy" Vladimir Sorin |
Autumn Idyll
Perhaps I'll see him in another place,
A softer world, where we may know the sighs
And slanted tone of autumn's lullabies,
Where leaves embellish paths of shadow-lace;
A place where days go round with measured pace
And footsteps linger. Nothing would disguise,
In such a world, the gladness in his eyes,
Or dim the shining candor in my face.
And I will tell him what I long to tell;
My veil will fall as limpid as a leaf
Through windless air. It would be too unkind,
Good sense, to shatter this idyllic spell!
Allow this lovely, gossamer belief
To gleam, oblique as autumn, in my mind.
