lirik lagu richard mitchley - in november (2) by archibald lampman

with loitering step and quiet eye
beneath the low november sky
i wandered in the woods, and found
a clearing, where the broken ground
was scattered with black stumps and briers
and the old wreck of forest fires
it was a bleak and sandy spot
and, all about, the vacant plot
was peopled and inhabited
by scores of mulleins long since dead
a silent and forsaken brood
in that mute opening of the wood
so shrivelled and so thin they wеre
so gray, so haggard, and austere
not plants at all thеy seemed to me
but rather some spare company
of hermit folk, who long ago
wandering in bodies to and fro
had chanced upon this lonely way
and rested thus, till death one day
surprised them at their compline prayer
and left them standing lifeless there

there was no sound about the wood
save the wind’s secret stir. i stood
among the mullein~stalks as still
as if myself had grown to be
one of their sombre company
a body without wish or will
and as i stood, quite suddenly
down from a furrow in the sky
the sun shone out a little sp~ce
across that silent sober place
over the sand heaps and brown sod
the mulleins and dead goldenrod
and passed beyond the thickets gray
and lit the fallen leaves that lay
level and deep within the wood
a rustling yellow multitude
and all around me the thin light
so sere, so melancholy bright
fell like the half~reflected gleam
or shadow of some former dream;
a moment’s golden reverie
poured out on every plant and tree
a semblance of weird joy, or less
a sort of spectral happiness;
and i, too, standing idly there
with m~ffled hands in the chill air
felt the warm glow about my feet
and shuddering betwixt cold and heat
drew my thoughts closer, like a cloak
while something in my blood awoke
a nameless and unnatural cheer
a pleasure secret and austere
