Fugitive, wistful, br Pausing at edge of her going, br Autumn, the maiden, turns, br Leans to the earth with ineffable br Gesture. Ah, more than br Spring's skies her skies shine br Tender and frailer br Bloom than plum-bloom or almond br Lies on her hillsides, her fields, br Misted, faint-flushing. Ah, lovelier br Is her refusal than br Yielding who pauses with grave br Backward smiling, with light br Unforgettable touch of br Fingers withdrawn. . . Pauses, lo br Vanishes. . fugitive, wistful. . .
