Evanescent her glance
The mirror's images imbue and fade,
preceding instances to reproduce,
our Autumn picture when the rain conveyed,
a soughing message, fated to diffuse.
Along, bequeathed me, betrothal shield,
(an outward flight she was, a tear and smile),
around the evergreens my fate was sealed,
beyond the darkened tints where nights beguile.
The train's trespassing and repeated thud
exchanged its distant lights with night's advance
embroidering the notes of our ballade,
abandoned synthesis and festal dance.
Evanescent her glance, perchance my stare,
adjoined inside the rain our vows of e'er.
