No longer have I fear of falling leaves
Nor pity for a shivering leaf alone;
I can rejoice as if the seed new-sown
Were pushing through.
And yet, the whole world grieves.
No heartbreak now to watch the sodden sheaves
And no regret that summer birds have flown,
For in this nest one little bird, my own,
Has banished dread of slowly dripping eaves.
Autumn but a season
As lovely as the rest!
Miracles grow commonplace
Since you found my breast.
