[Text ID: The black oaks fling their bronze fruit into all the pockets of the earth pock pock, / they knock against the thresholds the roof the sidewalk fill the eaves the bottom line, / of the old gold song of the almost finished year what is spring all that tender green stuff, / compared to this falling of tiny oak trees then the clouds, / gathering thick along the west then advancing then closing over breaking open, / the silence then the rain dashing its silver seeds against the house. /End ID.]
