AUTUMN LEAVES By Ralph T. Nordlund If I could only be s beautiful as au tumn leaves And don a parting robe subl ime To ch eer a \\rorld that grieves, I ,,,ould not dread life's ,,,inter time Or weep beside the Sea. If I could lay me down s gently as the leaves that fall, Bouyed up by ,vinds that croon and sin g, I would n ot bear D eath's f inal call And to life's bou gh attemp t to clin g, But h aste to claim my cro\\111. T h e grace of growing old Can be indeed m y garment fair When autumn days r emin d of death; And \vh en leaves long sleep I sh are, My faith can be a bouyant breath To waft m e to God's fold.
