Dead Leaves



Dead Leaves
By Georgia Douglas Johnson

The breaking dead leaves ’neath my feet
A plaintive melody repeat,
Recalling shattered hopes that lie
As relics of a bygone sky.
 
Again I thread the mazy past,
Back where the mounds are scattered fast—
Oh! foolish tears, why do you start,
To break of dead leaves in the heart?

    this is a version of the verses of tge French song
    Les feuilles mortes.I will never forget the music,
    thevoice ofIves Montand .My sad closeted youth
    now is a fallen leaf
