Leaves Of Life

~SoSSS VA AS&3C
The leaves of Life are failing one by
The woods, once thick and green arc
brown and sere;
And youth with AL her bounteous
hours is done.
And age is here.
The leaves of Life are falling one by
Best worst. loved. hated, happy
days and sad,
Each the inevitable course has run,
The present had.
The leaves of Life are falling one by
Till. after all the gladness and the
strife.
We see the redncss of the setting sun
Light up our life.
And good seems not 50 good-ill not
And things look other than they
used to seem;
Ourselves more vague, questions Of
fate and will
Less like a dream.
And then why leaves should fall we
think we know.
Because the autumn comes before
~, the spring
The eternal spring. hen flowers will
always blnw.
Birds always sing.
