How grateful to draw the blinds
And admit no other presence, -
A chance to feed an other self,
To retreat thus from life's grind.
To build a palace that is ours,
Though it may exist only an hour,
Or to paint a maple leaf,
To erase the seasonal grief.
Autumn has but few flowers,
Crickets have ended their shrilling.
A few moments of inner peace,
O good moments of nothingness.
