The season brings but little gold	A
And only rusty gules and sanguines dull	B
To these rude hills with darkling lava cored	A
And with thick sombre rocks embossed	A
That yield small pasture to the mordant sun	C
And leaves of toneless brown and fawn	D
Cluster the glaucous foliage of blue oaks	E
Amid the fallow grasses leonine	D
And the live oaks' grave and winter waiting green	D
And the dim greys and dusky verdures of the pines	F
Seem to turn darker with October's heat	A
In lowland and ravine	D
By dwindled nil and narrowed river willow	G
And poplar and wild grape	H
Will burn to purer yellows	I
To ruddier or more empurpled stains	J
And in the rows of fruit plucked orchard trees	K
Exotic pomp deciduous splendor royal hued	A
Of other climes and orient autumns flame	L
But here the desiccate and sun struck fells	M
No similar gauds assume	N
	-
Watching the tardy portents of slow change	O
Prolonged unnotably through changeless days	P
I walk in solitude	A
Where memories return	D
That die not with a single season's leaves	Q
But still delay the blind nepenthean doom	N
And gather stranger hues	R
Than these that clothe the tree	S
Or fold the autumnal earth	T
Love walks with me a spectre beautiful	B
With fallen seasons and with suns that were	U
And on the ground our link d shadows run	D
Together and her heavy hair is blown	D
The invisible sending of a witch's web	V
On winds from off the sea	S
Whose autumn shore we followed long ago	G
And ecstasy and teen	D
Wild as the spray of combers reaching us	W
On crags that held the perilous paths of love	X
Return to haunt these uplands calm and sere	Y
And wafts of cypress balsam keen and sweet	A
From the sped years blow over me	S
And Lobos rises like a granite ghost	A
To crown the sealess wold	A
	-
Thus conscious and remembering	Z
I move across a land	A
That seems oblivion's self	A2
A land whose primal languors drowse the will	B2
Whose sleepy light and dim horizoned air	C2
Proffer the earth's antique forgetfulness	W
But for awhile I spurn	D
The peace that comes to all or rathe or late	A
And clasp the cherished pain	D
As one with face amid thorned blossoms pressed	A
Who finds them fragranter	C2
Than those that bear no thorn	D
Now where the stones lie still	B2
And taciturn and secret and withdrawn	D
In that dark entity we cannot share	C2
And where the pines their level branches swing	Z
Lightly in gusts that rise and pass	W
But stir not ever from their rooted stance	W
I hear a voice that sings	W
Some old world measure magical and clear	C2
Or catch the glimmer of a girl's white feet	A
Moving in moonlit saraband	A
O voice none other hears that sings for me	S
Now must I muse on passions that unfold	A
Slow as the lichen grows	W
Or swiftly as the fungus of the night	A
And think on how	D2
The many have withered but the one abides	W
	-
The shadow of a cloud	A
Falls on the gnarled and boulder buttressed oak	E2
Beneath whose boughs I pause	W
Noting the mistletoe	A
Already pearled with wintry berries white	A
'Mid leaves of mottled bronze and feuillemort	A
Haply the days draw nigh	F2
When dark toothed wind and tempest will assail	G2
Such spare sad splendor as these hills put on	D
And wildly strew	C2
Green leaves and sere together to that doom	N
Which waits for all	H2
Meanwhile the southward drooping sun shines warm	I2
On grasses pale and foliages that fade	A
And on the fadeless lichen of the stone	D
And still O season of Circean dreams	W
Preferred from long ago	A
I find a music far and sorcerous	W
Like one who hears the dryad singing from her tree	S
And still beneath this latter sun	D
Love is the freshness of your shadows love	X
The flame that in your distant azure sleeps	W
