The autumn leaves, <br />Abandoned tree, <br />The red and yellow, <br />Now are free, <br />A golden carpet, <br />Nature’s joy, <br />Now trampled on, <br />By girl and boy, <br />In love’s young dream, <br />And hand in hand, <br />They touch but never, <br />Understand, <br />That life is short, <br />And oh so sweet, <br />Like falling leaves, <br />On city street, <br />They’re taken by, <br />The wind that blows, <br />The naked tree, <br />Where life still flows, <br />Awaiting spring, <br />To bud again, <br />The autumn leaves, <br />Will feel no pain.<br /><br />Linda Harnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/autumn-leaves-2/
