AutumnVyacheslav Ivanov (b. 1866)
T
Enskied a woman veiled in light invisibly
Upholds a balance high above the clear sun’s pouring,
The instant’s equipoise, serene and frail, adoring.
And lays upon the golden scales its trembling weight
May force the balance Summer’s plenty freighted
Down to the wintry regions soon to darkness fated.
