by Frederick William Harvey (1888 - 1957)
November
Language: English
He has hanged himself – the Sun. He dangles A scarecrow in thin air. He is dead for love - the Sun; He who in forest tangles Wooed all things fair. That great lover – the Sun, Now spangles The wood with blood-stains. He has hanged himself – the Sun. How thin he dangles In these grey rains!
