Analysis of 'Fall, leaves, fall'
Emily Jane Brontë 1818 (Thornton) – 1848 (Haworth)
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
