STORY OF THE LEAVES

By j. w. ALEXANDER
Hank! Listen if you please,
While Nature sings among the trees
And watch the trembling leaves;
1t must be Gods own hand.
And more we see among the wood
That teaches all is fair and good
A praise that can't be understood;
Only God can understand.
And now those leaves begin to fall,
While we wonder if this is all
They answer to wiser call;
We hardly understand
But Nature says Gods way is best,
He takes care of all the rest,
So why should we protest;
It's Gods own command.
He comes along to clear the way
Those golden leaves go back to clay
They have had their little stay;
Asleep; safe from the storm.
While they adorn their little shroud
All of Nature feeleth proud
Their precious lives were endowed
With love. They've done no harm,
They bore the heat of summers sun,
While halls beat them one by one,
Now their sleep is just begun
Through all the winters days.
The winters storms, sleet and rain
May come with might and main,
But those leaves want suffer again:
How wonderful are Gods ways!
