Beneath the mothlike moon | G |

The leaves are lying numberless | F |
Disconsolately dead | H |
Where lucent was their sylvan dress | F |
And lightsome was their tread | H |
They rot below the bitter snow | G |
Uncomforted | H |

A leaf's a life and one by one | G |
They drift each darkling day | H |
Rare friends who lusted in the sun | G |
Are frailing fast away | H |
How sadly soon will mourn the moon | G |
My dark decay | H |
