1
Slow ebbing away
Of a languorous summer
Light begins to fade.

2
Slow falling of leaves
Bronze and russet drifting down
Autumn gift to Earth.

3
Darkness grows, cold creeps
Into life's interstices
Fading of the year

4
Cold sea-breeze morning
Atlantic hints in the air
Autumn leaves quiver

5
Encroaching darkness
Day penned into shrinking cage
Light flees South. Autumn
