Now the Leaves Are Falling Fast

        -W.H. Auden

“Now the leaves are falling fast” is one of the finest lyric poems which has been composed by the modern poet W.H Auden. The title of this poem suggests us about the death of human beings like the falling fast of leaves.

Human beings are going to their grave very fast due to suffering and diseases. In this poem, the poet tries to expose the frustration and crisis in modern life. The poet says that all fake love to one another. The messenger of death is present to snatch the real delight of people.

People who are alive today will die tomorrow. This expression suggests that human life is no better than death. The underlying idea in this poem is that death is certain. Like tree man also has to meet his end someday.
