Autumn

Thomas Ernest Hulme 1883 (Endon, Staffordshire) – 1917 (Oostduinkerke, West Flanders)



A touch of cold in the Autumn night --
 
   I walked abroad,
   And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge
   Like a red-faced farmer.
   I did not stop to speak, but nodded,
   And round about were the wistful stars
   With white faces like town children.
