Gone, gone again is Summer the lovely, She that knew not where to hide Is gone again like a jewelled fish from the hand, Is lost on ev'ry side. Mute, mute I make my way to the garden, Thither where she last was seen; The heavy foot of the frost is on the flags there Where her light step has been. Gone, gone again is Summer the lovely, Gone again on ev'ry side, Lost again, like a shining fish from the hand Into the shadowy tide.

The vine leaves against the brick walls of my house, Are rusty and broken. Dead leaves gather under the pine-trees, The brittle boughs of lilac-bushes Sweep against the stars. And I sit under a lamp Trying to write down the emptiness of my heart. Even the cat will not stay with me, But prefers the rain Under the meagre shelter of a cellar window.

I spot the hills With yellow balls in autumn. I light the prairie cornfields Orange and tawny gold clusters And I am called pumpkins. On the last of October When dusk is fallen Children join hands And circle round me Singing ghost songs And love to the harvest moon; I am a jack-o'-lantern With terrible teeth And the children know I am fooling.
