LEAVES that cling to the tired ground,
Or whirl in great clouds round and round,
Do memories stir in the orchard there,
And bring haunting dreams of a day more fair:
Birds in the garden trees,
Flowers and honey-bees,
Sunshine that thrilled the pulse of life,
Joy in a world where joy was rife --
Do such fair ghosts of the past you knew
Breathe transient happiness into you?
