As cloth-of-gold the fallen leaves lie

Where twilight-peacocks lord the place,

Spendthrifts of pride and grace.

The grapes on vines are rubies red,

They burn as flame, when day is done.

The Dusk, brown Princess, turns her head

While sunset-panthers past her run

To caverns of the Sun.

She throws cord-reins of sunbeams wrought,

About the sunset-panthers, fleet,
