Matin D’Octobre ................................... Barbara and Conrad Chaffee
(2009)
It is that exquisite morning hour
Reddened by a sudden sun.
Through the autumn fog
The garden’s leaves fall.
Their fall is slow. One can follow them
With one’s gaze, recognizing
The oak by its leaf of copper,
The maple by its leaf of blood.
The last, the rustiest,
Fall from stripped branches,
But it is not yet winter . . .
A blonde light saturates
Nature, and, in the rose-colored air,
You would think it was snowing gold.
(François Coppee, 1842-1908)
