Yeats Composition: The Falling of the Leaves

I set to music and sang W.B. Yeats' poem, The Falling of the Leaves.

I wish I could sing and play what I hear in my head, but this is about as close as I can get on my own -- sorry!

Autumn is over the long leaves that love us,
And over the mice in the barley sheaves;
Yellow the leaves of the rowan above us,
And yellow the wet wild-strawberry leaves.
The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us part, ere the season of passion forget us,
With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping brow.

Mmmmmm, thank you, that was beautiful. I'm sure Yeats would have loved it.
