In the fall of life each showing age
The human seated and the browning leaves
Each getting stiffer with passing time
Each passing day slowly thieves
The beauty and the youth
Of the leaf and the person of age
The leaf will fall to blow around
The person shall move to another stage
Each waves in the wind, and the winds of life
As on each the sun does set
Each enjoying the last saps of their Autumn days
That herald the coming of Death.
