    Gather leaves and grasses,
    Love, to-day;
For the Autumn passes
    Soon away.
Chilling winds are blowing.
It will soon be snowing.
          Gather Leaves and Grasses.

    Ah, we fondly cherish
    Faded things
That had better perish.
    Memory clings
To each leaf it saves.
Chilly winds are blowing.
It will soon be snowing
    On our graves.
          Gather Leaves and Grasses.

      “I love you because
You’re a sweet little fool!”
          The sweet little Fool (The Sequel).
