Spring and Fall: To a Young Child
Márgarét, áre you gríeving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?
Leáves, like the things of man, you
This poem is about death and regeneration; the decaying leaves dying, while Spring is a  metaphor  for growth.  The focus, however, is on how humans deal with death.  It is addressed to a young child to suggest innocence and naivety.
