| V. Mist Forms |
| 13. Tawny |
| THESE are the tawny days: your face comes back. | |
| The grapes take on purple: the sunsets redden early on the trellis. | |
| The bashful mornings hurl gray mist on the stripes of sunrise. | |
| Creep, silver on the field, the frost is welcome. | |
| Run on, yellow balls on the hills, and you tawny pumpkin flowers, chasing your lines of orange. | 5 |
| Tawny days: and your face again. |
