<h3> <SPAN name="autumn"></SPAN> AUTUMN EVENING<br/> </h3>
<p>The shadows flickering, the daylight dying,<br/>
And I upon the old red sofa lying,<br/>
The great brown shadows leaping up the wall,<br/>
The sparrows twittering; and that is all.<br/></p>
<p>I thought to send my soul to far-off lands,<br/>
Where fairies scamper on the windy sands,<br/>
Or where the autumn rain comes drumming down<br/>
On huddled roofs in an enchanted town.<br/></p>
<p>But O my sleepy soul, it will not roam,<br/>
It is too happy and too warm at home:<br/>
With just the shadows leaping up the wall,<br/>
The sparrows twittering; and that is all.<br/></p>
<p><br/><br/><br/></p>
