That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
