The stripped and shapely
Maple grieves
The loss of her
Departed leaves.
The ground is hard
as hard as stone.
The year is old,
the birds have flown.
And yet the world,
nevertheless,
Displays a certain
Loveliness.
-John Updike, A Children's Calendar
It certainly does. I think you can find it anywhere...if you are looking.
