AD ASTRA: 1 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: THE LEAVES ARE FALLING FAST, AND WINTER DREAR
Last Line: WITH RAPTURE OF A LOVE THAT CANNOT DIE.
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE; OLD AGE;

THE leaves are falling fast, and Winter drear
With muffled feet steals on the silent fold;
With marble touch his hoary hand doth sear
The very heart-strings of the poor and old;
The little songsters of the leafy wold
Are quiet now, no more to charm the sky
With rapture of a love that cannot die.
