Fifty-one is entering the fall,
In which the colors of her life will brighten.
For her the painted world is but a wall
That shields a void no passion can enlighten.
Yet one can see its mystery in all.

O season of remembrance! A bright shawl
Now covers the dark branches that will whiten,
Each now swathed in dreams none will recall.
