319 Wednesday, November 14, 1928 Poughkeepsie, Oct. 22nd. Walking toward Blodgett, with a full moon just above Main. Noticing how opaque the orange leaves looked. The autumn orange of the leaves just when Sun breaks its lease with earth again Is brilliant gold. Just then The splendid moon will boldly take Possession of the sky and make The orange leaves opaque And flat against the pine tree's somber wall. They are a pattern of the Fall With no life left at all; No rioting of flame like color as at noon; No filtering of sun. Too soon The golden brilliance has been stolen by the moon!
