Approach of Winter + 

The half stripped trees + 

struck by a wind together, + 

bending all, + 

the leaves flutter drily + 

and refuse to let go + 

or driven like hail + 

stream bitterly out to one side + 

and fall + 

where the salvias, hard carmine,⁠— + 

like no leaf that ever was⁠— + 

edge the bare garden. + 
