The Fall

I'll sing a song of kings and queens
And falling leaves and flying rain,
With Time to mow, and Fate who gleans
Their good and evil, boon and bane.

I'll sing a song of leaves and rains
And flying queens and falling kings.
Yet doubt not reason still remains
Snug hidden at the core of things.

For every year an autumn brings
To round the root and fat the sheaves
And haply garner queens and kings
With falling rain and flying leaves.

The rain is salt with tears of queens
The leaves are red with blood of kings;
Unknowing what the mystery means
We puzzle at these splendid things.

For why great kings and rains should fall,
And wherefore leaves and queens should fly,
Or such rare wonders be at all,
You cannot tell; no more can I.

Yet this we know: new leaves and rain
Anon shall crown the vernal scene,
But dust of dynasts not again
Blows up into a king or queen.

MYSTERIOUS DOINGS

As once I rambled in the woods

  I chanced to spy amid the brake

A huntsman ride his way beside

  A fair and passing tranquil lake;

Though velvet bucks sped here and there,

  He let them scamper through the green--

Not one smote he, but lustily

  He blew his horn--what could it mean?

As on I strolled beside that lake,

  A pretty maid I chanced to see

Fishing away for finny prey,

  Yet not a single one caught she;

All round her boat the fishes leapt

  And gambolled to their hearts' content,

Yet never a thing did the maid but sing--

  I wonder what on earth it meant.

As later yet I roamed my way,

  A lovely steed neighed loud and long,

And an empty boat sped all afloat

  Where sang a fishermaid her song;

All underneath the prudent shade,

  Which yonder kindly willows threw,

Together strayed a youth and maid--

  I can't explain it all, can you?

The Fable by Click here • 29 poems

a year ago

Click hereBeyond the steady rock the steady sea,
In movement more immovable than station,
Gathers and washes and is gone. It comes,
A slow obscure metonymy of motion,
Crumbling the inner barriers of the brain.
But the crossed rock braces the hills and makes
A steady quiet of the steady music,
Massive with peace.
And listen, now:
The foam receding down the sand silvers
Between the grains, thin, pure as virgin words,
Lending a sheen to Nothing, whispering.
