Excerpt from Old Year Leaves: Old Verses Revived The leaves which in the autumn of the years Fall auburn-tinted from their parent trees, Swept from dismembered boughs by ruthless breeze, Through Winter's weary reign of want and fears Will lie in drifts, and when the snowdrop cheers - Frail firstling of the flowers - they still are there, There still, although the balmy southern air And budding boughs proclaim that Spring appears. So lost hopes severed by the stress of life Unburied lie before our wistful eyes, Though none but we regard their fell decay, And ever amid the stir of worldly strife Fresh aims and fuller purposes arise Between the faded hopes of yesterday.
