## The words

“Where shall we go for our garlands glad At the  
falling of the year When the burntup banks are  
yellow and sad When the boughs are yellow and  
sere? When the boughs are yellow and sere?  
Where are the old ones that once we had And when  
are the new ones near? What shall we do for our  
garlands glad At the falling, At the falling  
of the year?  
“Child! can I tell where the garlands go?  
Can I say where the lost leaves veer?  
On the brown burnt banks, when the wild winds  
blow When they drift thro’ the deadwood drear?  
When they drift thro’ the deadwood drear?  
Girl! when the garlands of next year glow You  
may gather again, my dear; But I go where the  
last year's lost leaves go At the falling of  
the year, At the falling of the year.”
