The soul said: «Autumn.»
And with her came the rains.
All the people turned cruel,
and their children fell silent.
The whole world stalled — afraid.
But suddenly «Dawn» arrived — and Autumn smiled.
A gloomy sparrow flew up to a branch
and remembered how, in spring, he had been in love.
«She» — seeing the sparrow — began to smile back,
and tears of happiness streamed from her eyes.
There will be no more autumn together.
«He is not here today» — and he never will be.
He «left this world» — leaving her behind.
