Autumn Leaves

By A. LESLIE

They were jade and emerald
 When the slanting rays
Of the summer sunlight
 Set them all ablaze.
They were all a-murmur
 With an elfin tune
When pale winds came leaping
 From behind the moon.
Now they flame and smolder
 In the winy air,
As if a frightened rainbow
 Had spilled its treasures there.
