.at Autumn's End (Best Love Poems) Poem by Charles Wiles (Best Love Poems)

For seven days and seven nights
The sun rose up and fell again
But while the stars spun round our heads
The moon was always on the wane.

For seven days and seven nights
The tide came in and fell away
But while the ships sailed in and out
The geese were leaving every day.

For seven days and seven nights
The wind blew strong then weak once more
But while the gusts swept round the trees
The leaves kept falling to the floor.

For seven days and seven nights
Your hand held tight in mine did spend,
But moon and geese and leaves foretold
That two would part at Autumn’s end.
