Autumnal chill amid the light today
A leaden sadness weighing down the heart
Which nearer to the ground approaches Art
A growth in shadow separate from the fray
Whose height of summer sun and tumult stay
Imagination, bleaching of the dark
Repository full of fears the start
Of tales that from inky blackness bay.
Aloft ten thousand feet and seeing all
Absorb the view without discerning eye
And level clod and mountain in the earth
No matter their significance or worth
But come the fall, lie lower and espy
The strong the weak the big or truly small.
