First Line: We see a beauty in the dying leaves

Subject(s): Autumn; Beauty; Death; Nature; Seasons; Fall; Dead, The
We see a beauty in the dying leaves
That nature in no other time conceives,
Their service ended and their work now done
Like golden setting of the dying sun.
When my time comes, my autumn time to die
Let me reveal to every neighbor's eye
An equal beauty, to his memory show
A life with words and deeds of love aglow.
