Money Tree For Bridal Shower

September -

down the rain ...
silent trembling
the summer, declining to its end.
Drop gold leaf
down from the big acacia ...
Ride dazed and pale
Pound in his dying dream
lingers among the roses,
thinking of his peace
slowly closes her eyes the great
heavy fatigue.

Herman Hesse
