‘The Falling Leaves’ November 1915 Today, as I rode by, I saw the brown leaves dropping from their tree In a still afternoon, When no wind whirled them whistling to the sky, But thickly, silently, They fell, like snowflakes wiping out the noon; And wandered slowly thence For thinking of a gallant multitude Which now all withering lay, Slain by no wind or age of pestilence, But in their beauty strewed Like snowflakes falling on the Flemish clay. Margaret Postgate Cole (1893-1980)
