Meditation

The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky;
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine-and-fifty swans.

W. B. Yeats (1865 - 1939)
Irish poet and playwright
The Wild Swans at Coole, 1919,
"The Wild Swans at Coole"
