EQUINOX OF FALL ~ BALLAD

On twilight equinox of fall
mazes of stars in Heaven's shoot
down to Neptune's watery grave
and depths of dead rise no more mute
and depths of dead rise no more mute

and one by one the stars fade out,
the sky, of silver, destitute
and watery rain-red leaves blow
on the winds falling soft and mute,
on the winds falling soft and mute.
