    Autumn Song

     BY DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI

         Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf

         How the heart feels a languid grief

         Laid on it for a covering,

         And how sleep seems a goodly thing

         In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

         And how the swift beat of the brain

         Falters because it is in vain,

         In Autumn at the fall of the leaf

         Knowest thou not? and how the chief

         Of joys seems—not to suffer pain?

        Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf

        How the soul feels like a dried sheaf

         Bound up at length for harvesting,

         And how death seems a comely thing

        In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?
