THE RETURN OF THE LEAVES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Leaves and the sweet-choired blue
Last Line: Fled, with all but its pain.
Subject(s): Hearts; Leaves; Pain; Youth; Suffering; Misery


Leaves and the sweet-choired blue;
And my heart set free again.
Leaves, leaves and the dew;
Free, but not free from pain.

The laughter of June is shed;
And my heart gives heed again.
But, ah, for youth that is fled,
Fled, with all but its pain.
