The Leaf that Falls

A leaf was blown in the wind from a giant tree.
The wind turned it over and over in the air
As if it had been flying ups and downs with a bee
For the aimless spinning falling down in a pair.

And the leaf was falling down into the ditch cover.
Suddenly its background switched the bright to the black
When it occurred in the lovely morning this October,
Which it seemed to have gone without a mark.

But the heavy rain showered all of a sudden later,
Moistening the leaf at the bottom of the ditch cover.
