It's only eight lines so — copyrightly speaking — I don't think I have the right to copy any of it here. Just trust me and pop over to The Poetry Foundation.
Don't the last two lines succinctly sum up how we all make it through winter?
Now, go and enjoy all the other poetic goodness of Poetry Friday.

"Love folds them then." It is November, the loss and grief. Thanks, Karen, a new one to me. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!

The last two lines brought a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing. And Happy Thanksgiving!
Sigh, another lovely November poem. Thanks so much -- and do have a wonderful Thanksgiving next week!
The thinning of the leaves is so evocative.
Thanks for the introduction to this poem. I've been watching the trees outside my window and so this line, "A thinning of lingering leaves on the bough" resonates profoundly for me these days.
