Late autumn sadness

English

Autumn came so please cover my heart with the
Tree shade—or yours so it won’t wither.

I fear that perhaps I won’t see you sometimes
That I’ll grow sharp wings up to the skies
That you’ll hide within a foreign eye
Which will close with a bitter good-bye.

And then I go near the rocks and shut up.
Take the words and drown them in the sea.
