Analysis of Autumn Night
T. E. Hulme 1883 (Endon) – 1917 (Oostduinkerke)
A touch of cold in the Autumn night—
I walked abroad,
And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge
Like a red-faced farmer.
I did not stop to speak, but nodded,
And round about were the wistful stars
With white faces like town children.
