A LEAF FALLS, by                    
First Line: The lyric rustle of a leaf
Last Line: Shall claim eternity!
Subject(s): Future Life; Leaves; Retribution; Eternity; After Life


The lyric rustle of a leaf
In falling to the earth
Is but the breath of victory
Declaring a new birth.

And if a leaf can sink to rest
With song of certainty,
I, too, with slipping of my breath
Shall claim eternity!
