Fall, Leaves, Fall

By Emily Bronte

Topics: classic

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;     Lengthen night and shorten day;     Every leaf speaks bliss to me     Fluttering from the autumn tree.     I shall smile when wreaths of snow     Blossom where the rose should grow;     I shall sing when night's decay     Ushers in a drearier day.
