 Autumn day
 Lord, it is time. The summer was very great.
 Lay your shadow on the sundials,
 And in the corridors, let the winds loose.

 Command the last fruits to be full;
 Give them two more days further south,
 urge them towards completion, and chase
 the last touch of sweetness in the heavy wine.

 Anyone who doesn't own a house now won't build one.
 Those who are alone now will remain so for a long time.
 will wake up, read, write long letters
 and is driven back and forth in the avenues
 They wander restlessly when the leaves are drifting.


 Rainer Maria Rilke, September 21, 1902, Paris
