<poem>
I love October better than divine
I love October better than divine
May’s quick upsurge of life;
May’s quick upsurge of life;
The pensive autumn is more nearly mine
The pensive autumn is more nearly mine
With its quiet surcease from strife.
With its quiet surcease from strife.
Softened by mist, the luminous eves unfold
Softened by mist, the luminous eves unfold
Their shining in the west,
Their shining in the west,
And, trembling from each twig, few but gold
And, trembling from each twig, few, few, but gold
Flutter the leaves to rest.
Flutter the leaves to rest.
Tiptoe with hope stood spring,  
 
but autumn lies in patience and in faith.
Tiptoe with hope stood spring, but autumn lies
Resinging her midsumptuous obsequies
In patience and in faith,
Resigning her, mid sumptuous obsequies,
To the gentle hand of death.
To the gentle hand of death.
To the sweet fruition of all earthly bloom spring looks
 
but autumn she to the mystic burgeoning
To the sweet fruition of all earthly bloom
beyond the tomb of our ultimate mystery.
Spring looks, but autumn, she
Float, opalescent canopies of cloud
To the mystic burgeoning beyond the tomb
Drop leaves to be her pall:
Of our ultimate mystery.
 
Float, opalescent canopies of cloud:
Drop, leaves, to be her pall:
Here lies our hope, full glorious in her shroud,
Here lies our hope, full glorious in her shroud,
And perishing promiseth all.
And perishing, promiseth all.}}
</poem>

I love October better than divine
May’s quick upsurge of life;
The pensive autumn is more nearly mine
With its quiet surcease from strife.

Softened by mist, the luminous eves unfold
Their shining in the west,
And, trembling from each twig, few, few, but gold
Flutter the leaves to rest.

Tiptoe with hope stood spring, but autumn lies
In patience and in faith,
Resigning her, mid sumptuous obsequies,
To the gentle hand of death.

To the sweet fruition of all earthly bloom
Spring looks, but autumn, she
To the mystic burgeoning beyond the tomb
Of our ultimate mystery.

Float, opalescent canopies of cloud:
Drop, leaves, to be her pall:
Here lies our hope, full glorious in her shroud,
And perishing, promiseth all.
