EVEN THE LEAVES, by                    
First Line: No blighting frost has fallen
Last Line: Harsh voices prophesying.
Subject(s): Autumn; Leaves; Seasons; Fall


No blighting frost has fallen --
The sun is warm,
Wind riffles from the south.
In the garden butterflies hover low.
And yet leaves are turning yellow;
Now and then two or three of them
Let go and tumble down.
Like flecks of winter sunshine
They lie among the fading grasses,
Crackling with every step we take:
Harsh voices prophesying.
