Automn ill and adored
You die when the hurricane blows in the roseries
When it has snowed
In the orchard trees

Poor automn
Dead in whiteness and riches
Of snow and ripe fruits
Deep in the sky

Over the sprites with green hair dwarfs

All their tears in automn leaf by leaf

That flows
The life
That goes — Guillaume Apollinaire
