Autumn has come to rest |
|
In her garden |
|
Come to paint the trees with emptiness |
|
And no pardon |
|
So many things have come undone |
|
Like the leaves on the ground |
|
And suddenly she begins to cry |
|
But she doesn't know why |
|
Heavy are the words that fall through the air |
|
To burden her shoulders |
|
Caught up in the trees |
|
Her soliloguy |
|
Don't leave me alone |
|
Rome now comes to sit |
|
In her garden |
|
Mingling the breeze with memories |
|
Of a time when |
|
There was a room in pale yellow hues |
|
Her room with a view |
|
Where love made a bed of happiness |
|
In muslin and lace |
|
Sweet is the voice from far away |
|
That speaks sotto voce and |
|
Is lingering there in the golden air |
|
To quiet the day |
