Analysis of Elegy To A Fallen Leaf

Fall, gently fall leaf of sorrow;
Cast away your fears of t'morrow.
Unleash the branch that holds you tight;
Let go of the cold and dark night.

Swing, swiftly swing your harshless hand;
Bid goodbye to mem'ries beyond.
Float like waves upon the far shore;
Thread your marks in the silent lore.

Kneel, slowly kneel and raise your pleas;
Ask that you can stay in the skies.
Now your tears are no longer cared;
Upon the soil your voice unheard.

Rest, fin'lly rest your head on ground;
Embrace the earth with trembling sound.
The barren world your wishes fail;
Sleep gently, you forever dwell.
