Song Of Autumn by Paul Verlaine
trans. James Kirkup (each verse as haiku)
| Long moans on autumn's |
saxophones - wound my heart with
| languor's monotones |
| Wan suffocations - |
as hours creep - remembering
| days gone by - I weep - |
| Borne on weary winds, |
my grief - hither and thither -
| a withering leaf |
