The last leaves fell like notes from a pianoAnd left their ovals echoing in the ear;
With gawky music stands, the winter forest
Looks like an empty orchestra, its lines
Ruled on these scattered manuscripts of snow.
- Derek Walcott, Selected poems
ps: I can't smudge the beauty of these words by adding anything from my end.
