Text: | See the leaves around us falling |
Author: | Horne |
Tune: | SLEEP |
Composer: | Geo. E. Lee |
1 See the leaves around us falling,
Dry and withered to the ground;
Thus to thoughtless mortals calling,
In a sad and solemn sound;
2 "Youth on length of days presuming,
Who the paths of pleasure tread,
View us, late in beauty blooming,
Numbered now among the dead.
3 "Yearly in our course appearing,
Messengers of shortest stay,
Thus we preach in mortal hearing,
Ye, like us, shall pass away."
