See how the rose leaves fall	A
The rose leaves fall and fade	B
And by the wall in dusk funereal	A
How leaf on leaf is laid	B
Withered and soiled and frayed	B
	-
How red the rose leaves fall	A
And in the ancient trees	C
That stretch their twisted arms about the hall	A
Burdened with mysteries	C
How sadly sighs the breeze	C
	-
How soft the rose leaves fall	A
The rose leaves drift and lie	A
And over them dull slugs and beetles crawl	A
And palely glimmering by	A
The glow worm trails its eye	A
	-
How thick the rose leaves fall	A
And strew the garden way	D
For snails to slime and spotted toads to sprawl	A
And plodding past each day	D
Coarse feet to tread in clay	D
	-
How fast they fall and fall	A
Where Beauty carved in stone	E
With broken hands veils her dead eyes and tall	A
White in the moonlight lone	E
Looms like a marble moan	E
	-
How slow they drift and fall	A
And strew the fountained pool	A
That in the nymph carved basin by the wall	A
Reflects in darkness cool	A
Ruin made beautiful	A
	-
How red the rose leaves fall	A
Fall and like blood remain	F
Upon the dial's disc whose pedestal	A
Black mossed and dark with stain	F
Crumbles in sun and rain	F
	-
How wan they seem to fall	A
Around one where she stands	G
Dim in their midst beyond the years' recall	A
Reaching pale passionate hands	G
Into the past's vague lands	G
	-
How still they fall and fall	A
Around them where they meet	H
As oft of old she in her gem pinned shawl	A
Of white and he complete	H
In black from head to feet	H
	-
How faint the rose leaves fall	A
Around them where it seems	I
He holds her clasped parting from her and all	A
His heart's young hopes and dreams	I
There in the moon's thin beams	I
	-
Around them rose leaves fall	A
And in the stress and urge	J
Of winds that strew them lightly over all	A
With deep autumnal surge	J
There seems to rise a dirge	J
	-
'See how the rose leaves fall	A
Upon thy dead O soul	A
The rose leaves of the love that once in thrall	A
Held thee beyond control	A
Making thy heart's world whole	A
	-
'God help them still to fall	A
Around thee bowed above	K
The face within thy heart beneath the pall	A
The perished face thereof	K
The beautiful face of Love '	-
