AN AUTUMN LEAF, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Upon my parchment, sadly old
Last Line: Of dreams we never quite forget.
Subject(s): Dreams; Leaves; Nightmares


UPON my parchment, sadly old,
The record lives of Summer's gold;
And in my veins there lingers now
The joy of Spring's awakening bough.

So I, like many a human heart
Wherefrom Life's shining days depart,
Keep valiantly some remnant yet
Of dreams we never quite forget.
