Two Poems after the Death of his Wife

1

Through early autumn woods I seek alone
By paths too quickly strewn with gold and red
The hidden forest-ways she wanders on,
Unseen, beyond some turning just ahead.

2

How sad to gaze upon the shore
Where hand in hand I wandered
With a maiden vanished
As leaves fall from the trees!
