Stanzas
I SAW a falling leaf soon strew
The soil to which it owed its birth;
I saw a bright star falling too,
But never reach the quiet earth.
Such is the lowly's portion blest,
Such is ambition's foil'd endeavour;
The falling leaf is soon at rest,
While stars that fall, fall on for ever!
The soil to which it owed its birth;
I saw a bright star falling too,
But never reach the quiet earth.
Such is the lowly's portion blest,
Such is ambition's foil'd endeavour;
The falling leaf is soon at rest,
While stars that fall, fall on for ever!
