Autumn Roses Than the accoutrement of valiant Spring, But they are more beautiful, and far more precious, Each several flower presents itself a perfect thing. They are more lasting, their colour is more lustrous, With a more intimate and insistent voice Their pungent scent speaks . . . What is meant to us By these perfect, departing roses? The joys Adorning the declension of life’s afternoon, Infrequent, rarer, to be remitted soon, Are so much the fairer, so much the dearer to us, Declaring the ineffable vision to be nearer to us. Their perfume is the incense of jubilee For what the deaf shall hear soon, and the blind see.
