<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0"><span class="letra">I</span>n the autumn days, the days of parting,<br/></span>
<span class="i4">Days that in a golden silence fall,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">When the air is quick with bird-wings starting,<br/></span>
<span class="i4">And the asters darken by the wall;<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Strong and sweet the wine of heaven is flowing,<br/></span>
<span class="i4">Bees and sun and sleep and golden dyes;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Long forgot is budding-time and blowing,<br/></span>
<span class="i4">Sunk in honeyed sleep the garden lies.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Spring and storm and summer midnight madness<br/></span>
<span class="i4">Dream within the grape but never wake;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Bees and sun and sweetness,—oh, and sadness!<br/></span>
<span class="i4">Sun and sweet that reach the heart—and break.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Ah, the pain at heart forever starting,<br/></span>
<span class="i4">Ah, the cup untasted that we spilled<br/></span>
<span class="i0">In the autumn days, the days of parting!<br/></span>
<span class="i4">Would our shades could drink it, and be stilled.<br/></span>
