| | | THE DEAD leaves dance like withered witches; | |
| Teetering, swirling, | |
| Dropping and curling, | |
| And crackling in the dried-up ditches. | |
| |
| Hear them whisper as we go past. | 5 |
| How each dry lip | |
| Rustles gossip! | |
| Do you hear them saying our love wont last? | | | | |
