Autumn, our poor garden is all falling down,
the yellowed leaves are flying in the wind.

BryonySeries: When the church-village slumbers
And the last songs are sung,
When the grey mist arising,
Is o'er the marshes hung,
'Tis then the woods forsaking,
Their way cross country taking,
Nine howling wolves come.
"The Wolves" by
Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy

TommyPotts14: My Little Almond Tree
My little almond tree
Is gay with gleaming bloom,
My heart unwillingly
Puts forth its buds of gloom.
The bloom will leave the tree,
The fruit, unbidden, grow.
And the green boughs will be
By bitter loads brought low.
