Speaker 1: The Leaf by Samuel G. Goodrich Readfullybrivoxed org by Adrian Stephens.
0:09
Speaker 1: It came with spring, soft sun and showers, mid bursting
0:14
Speaker 1: buds and blushing flowers. It flourish'd on the same light stem.
0:20
Speaker 1: It drank the same clear dews with them, the crimson
0:24
Speaker 1: tints of summer morn that gilded one did each adorn
0:30
Speaker 1: The breeze that whispered light and brief to bud or
0:34
Speaker 1: blossom kiss'd the leaf. When o'er the leaf, the tempest flew.
0:39
Speaker 1: The bud and blossom trembled too, But its companions passed
0:46
Speaker 1: away and left the leaf to lone decay. The gentle
0:51
Speaker 1: gales of spring went by, the fruits and flowers of
0:55
Speaker 1: summer dye. The autumn winds swept o'er the hill, and
1:00
Speaker 1: winter's breath came cold and chill. The leaf now yielded
1:05
Speaker 1: to the blast, and on the rushing stream was cast
1:09
Speaker 1: far far. It glided to the sea and whirled and
1:14
Speaker 1: added weirly two. Suddenly it sank to rest, and slumbered
1:21
Speaker 1: in the ocean's breast. Thus life begins its morning hours
1:28
Speaker 1: bright as the birth day of the flowers. Thus passes
1:32
Speaker 1: light the leaves away, as withered and as lost as
1:36
Speaker 1: they beneath the parent roof. We meet in joyous groups,
1:40
Speaker 1: and gaily greeted the golden beams of love and light
1:45
Speaker 1: that dawn upon the youthful sight. But soon we part,
1:52
Speaker 1: and one by one, like leaves and flowers, the group
1:57
Speaker 1: is gone. One gentle spirit seeks the tomb, his brow
2:02
Speaker 1: yet fresh with childhood's bloom. Another treads the paths of
2:08
Speaker 1: fame and barter's peace to win a name. Another still
2:13
Speaker 1: tempts fortune's wave, and seeking wealth, secures a grave. The
2:20
Speaker 1: last grasps yet the brittle thread, though friends are gone
2:25
Speaker 1: and joy is dead, still dares the dark and fretful tide,
2:31
Speaker 1: and clutches at his power and pride, till suddenly the
2:36
Speaker 1: waters sever, and like the leaf, he sinks forever. End

27:00
Speaker 11: by Larry Wilson. It came with spring's soft sun and showers,
27:07
Speaker 11: mid bursting buds and blushing flowers. It flourished on the
27:11
Speaker 11: same light stem. It drank the same clear dews with them.
27:16
Speaker 11: The crimson tints of summer morn that gilded one did
27:19
Speaker 11: each adorn. The breeze that whispered light and brief to
27:23
Speaker 11: bud or blossom kissed the leaf. When o'er the leaf
27:28
Speaker 11: the tempest flew. The bud and blossom trembled too, But
27:32
Speaker 11: its companions passed away and left the leaf to lone decay.
27:38
Speaker 11: The gentle gales of spring went by, the fruits and
27:42
Speaker 11: flowers of summer dye. The autumn wind swept o'er the hill,
27:47
Speaker 11: and winter's breath came cold and chill. The leaf now
27:51
Speaker 11: yielded to the blast, and on the rushing stream was
27:54
Speaker 11: cast far far. It glided to the sea, and whirled
27:59
Speaker 11: and eddied whearily, till suddenly it sank to rest, and
28:03
Speaker 11: slumbered in the ocean's breast. Thus life begins its morning hours,
28:09
Speaker 11: bright as the birth day of the flowers. Thus passes,
28:13
Speaker 11: like the leaves, away, as withered and as lost as
28:17
Speaker 11: they beneath the parent roof. We meet in joyous groups,
28:22
Speaker 11: in gaily greet the golden beams of love and light
28:25
Speaker 11: that dawn upon the youthful sight. But soon we part,
28:30
Speaker 11: and one by one, like leaves and flowers, the group
28:34
Speaker 11: is gone. One gentle spirit seeks the tomb, his brow
28:39
Speaker 11: yet fresh with childhood's bloom. Another treads the paths of
28:44
Speaker 11: fame and barters peace to win a name. Another still
28:49
Speaker 11: tempts fortune's wave, and, seeking wealth, secures a grave. The
28:54
Speaker 11: last grasps yet the brittle thread, though friends are gone
28:59
Speaker 11: and joy is dead, still dares the dark and fretful tide,
29:05
Speaker 11: and clutches at his power and pride, till suddenly the
29:09
