Mutability

John Gould Fletcher

The wind shakes the mists Making them quiver With faint drum-tones of thunder. Out of the crane-haunted mists of autumn,

Blue and brown Rolls the moon. There was a city living here long ago, Of all that city

There is only one stone left half-buried in the marsh, With characters upon it which no one now can read.
