Who thus of life each make a holocaust
Till all we have in nature is put by.

Walled with far azures of the wintering year,
Late autumn on a windless altar burns;
Splendid as rubies from Sabean urns,
A holocaust of hues is gathered here.

With fresher blood, with blacker crime,
As midnight horrors put to rout
The vaguer ghosts of twilight-time.

And all the west empurpled with their death,
How swift oblivion drinks the fallen sun,
How little while the dusk remembereth!
