The Hold The tree must hold tight The little leaf so tender, so light Embracing it to its delight wind so soft, sun so bright The tree must loosen its hold The little leaf so tender, so light The fall has already begun As the leaf begins its flight Never was the leaf in bondage Though it clasped, trembled or flew Blissful, at home, in peace always With the tree or away, it’s true -ANil
description
