Worthy Leaf
Worthy is the leaf I see
Staid as nature stays its course
That from bud on billowed tree
Carries pride from best or worse
Whether gentle rain or driving storm
It withers not from weathered stray
And when the sun appears each morn
It rises high to meet the day
Autumn comes to try its worth
Hues of chill redress its luster
Softly, quietly, it meets the earth
In dignity of life's muster
