Analysis of Autumnal Homecoming
Georg Trakl 1887 (Salzburg) – 1914 (Kraków)
Memory, buried hope
Is preserved by this brown timber,
Dahlias hang over it
Ever more silent homecoming,
The dark reflection of childish years
By the decayed garden,
That tears fall from blue eyelids
Gloom's crystalline minutes
To the night.
