October, Thomas Bailey Aldrich

October turned my maple's leaves to gold;
The most are gone now; here and there one lingers.
Soon these will slip from out the twig's weak hold,
Like coins between a dying miser's fingers.

- Thomas Bailey Aldrich (1836-1907), October

10월이 내 단풍나무 잎들을 금빛으로 물들였어요
이제 거의 떨어져 나가 여기 저기 한 잎씩만 남아 있네요
머잖아 남은 잎들마저 힘없는 가지에서 떨어지겠지요
죽어 가는 수전노의 손가락에서 동전들이 미끌어 떨어지듯

- 토머스 베일리 올드리치, 10월
