Behold that tree, in Autumn’s dim decay
‘Behold that tree, in Autumn’s dim decay‘ reflects on mortality, likening autumn’s leaf loss to human fear of death.
Behold that Tree, in Autumn’s dim decay,
Stript by the frequent, chill, and eddying Wind;
Where yet some yellow, lonely leaves we find
Lingering and trembling on the naked spray,
