Product Description
Evocative Choral Setting of Emily Brontë's "Fall, Leaves, Fall" Perfect for Fall Concerts
Fall, leaves, fall; die flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
--Emily Brontë
