THE RETURN OF THE LEAVES by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY

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.
