Leaf after leaf drops off, flower after flower,
Some in the chill, some in the warmer hour:
Alike they flourish and alike they fall,
And Earth who nourisht them receives them all.
Should we, her wiser sons, be less content
To sink into her lap when life is spent?

In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Walter Savage Landor's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Leaf after leaf drops off" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
