The leaflet
Anton Grigoryevich Rubinstein
From shelt'ring bough by rough wind shaken,
Leaflet, say, where dost go, forsaken?
oh where? oh where? "I do not know
The stormblast has my good oak shatter'd,
By breath of chance toss'd to and fro,
I and my dear ones all are scatter'd;
I go whereever fate may will,
Whereever all things here are driven,
Where all the laurel crowns are riven,
And where the roseleaf lingers still."
