Sweep the leaves together, Yellow, brown and red, Let us make a bonfire , Now that they are dead. Chestnut leaves and beach leaves, Ash and lime and oak, Fir-cones and pine needles , Kindle into smoke. Leaves that all the summer, Gave us cool and shade, What will be left of them, When our bonfire's made? Only death—like ashes, But from this same dust, Sun one day will fashion , Life anew, we trust.
