Autumn has come; cover my heart with something, with the shadow of a tree or better yet, with your shadow. .. "Looking close... on Friday!" .. "Creative with Leaves".

Autumn Emotion

by Nichita Stănescu

 

Autumn has come; cover my heart with something,

with the shadow of a tree or better yet, with your shadow.

 

I fear that sometimes I won’t see you again,

that sharp wings will grow on me, reaching to the clouds,

that you’ll hide away in a stranger's eye,

and it will close over you with a wormwood leaf.

 

And so, I draw close to the stones and fall silent,

I take the words and drown them in the sea.

I whistle up the moon, let it rise, and turn it

into a great love.
