Nature

Sonbahar

by Ahmet Haşim c. 1885–1933

From Piyale (1926). Original Turkish text.

NatureLove

Bir taraf bahçe, bir tarafta dere,
Gel uzan, sevgilim, benimle yere;
Suyu yakuta döndüren bu hazan
Bizi garkeyliyor düşüncelere...

The title means 'Autumn'. In a single quatrain, the speaker asks his beloved to lie down with him between garden and stream, while the autumn that turns the water to ruby sinks them in thought.
