When Fall bewails the summer’s shining days <br />With howling winds and bitter tears of rain, <br />And gloomy clouds hide the sunny rays, <br />So I lament lost happiness in vain. <br /> <br />When raging surges hurl upon the cliffs, <br />And swelling azure of the sea turns black <br />And raindrops dance in pair with falling leaves, <br />Do I regret, what’s gone cannot get back. <br /> <br />When swallows chirp their cheerless farewell song, <br />Like arrows, darting ‘cross the dark-blue sky, <br />I know they won’t linger here too long, <br />To distant lands, away they have to fly. <br /> <br />So happiness just comes to go away, <br />Appreciate then what you have today!<br /><br />Ruslan Kerimov<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-1-fall/
