November
by Sara Teasdale
From Helen of Troy and Other Poems Part II and Love Songs Part I.


The world is tired, the year is old,
      The little leaves are glad to die,
The wind goes shivering with cold
      Among the rushes dry.

Our love is dying like the grass,
      And we who kissed grow coldly kind,
Half glad to see our poor love pass
      Like leaves along the wind.
