Autumn II
Summer’s curse has thus hardened my soul
To the conceptions lovely Spring had bestowed
I long for Autumn’s calm wind and idle thought
Untainted by reality and the dull of this world
As the leaves begin to fall
My paper heart strings are set
Doors to my lost world reopened
I am queen again
My people rejoice at my return
I am happy again
Winter fell,
And I finally thawed.
