September Song

a poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Still is this dawn, they said it would rain
but the sky is clear and pale blue.
Roses on bushes imperceptible
inhale morning coolness sense
like I do that this is the last sigh of summer.
Tomorrow we too can softly exhale and say:
”It was a beautiful summer.”
Leaving the question whether
we are going to see another one unanswered.
