End of Summer

Mark Turbyfill

FOR that a great weariness has come upon me

Here in the remaining day of summer—

And the over-grown yard a stagnant mood,

Under the boughs the apples rotting,

And the fading grasses forgotten of cutting—

Suffer me to wag the tongue a little.

Even as leans on the fainting evening

the foliage withering,

I am touched with a song of brown and of shadows,

And of colors lingering.

And I passed before a house of vines

To hear a myriad of birds therein

Crying, crying.
