Autumn Song

Poem by Paul Verlaine Collection Poems SaturnianThemes AutumnPeriod 19th century

The long sobs
Of the violins
Of autumn
Wound my heart
With a monotonous
Languor.

All suffocating
And pale, when
The hour sounds,
I remember
The old days
And I weep.

And I go away
Into the ill wind
That carries me off
Hither, thither,
Like a
Dead leaf.

Paul Verlaine
