THE REASON.
* Why do the bright leaves fade, mother, Why do the bright leaves die ?’ ‘ That other leaves may grow, dear heart, Beneath the sun and sky ; Grow and sing in the summer air. When the days are dark, when the days are fair. Sing and swing and touch and part, Brighten and fade and die. For the world rolls ever round and round. And the little leaves know the season’s bound, And they leave the trees for the waiting ground I cannot tell you why, dear heart, I cannot tell you why.’ Ait..*,. . ’r.
Aurilla Turber.
