Under the Leaves

by (1875–1940)

Listen in the reader

The phalanxes of corn stand grim and serried, Dull gold the sodden sheaves, The violets that smiled with Spring are buried Under the leaves.

Along the land the Winter's doom is creeping All vainly Autumn grieves; And she who made my heart's sweet Spring is sleeping Under the leaves.
