Leaves in the Rain...

Leaves in the rain sing a lonesome refrain

Deep in the darkness when daylight is done

Pitter-oh-patter, a somnolent splatter

Weeping for loves ones and hours long-gone

Leaves in the sun gleam gold; medallions

Whispering, giggling in merry melee

But leaves in the rain strum a mournful-sweet strain

Carol akin to love’s fond memory

Leaves in the wind are like eager children

Chattering, chattering without a care

But leaves in the rain play a tender refrain

Rising and falling into the night air…
