I am trying to help someone find a French poem for his father's headstone. All he knows are a few pieces that are translations, and maybe rough translations, that he heard his father repeat.
Here's his notes:
"the translation asked "Little leaf, little leaf, detached from the stem, where are you going?" "I go where all things go..." and it goes on, as the leaf responds.
At times, he translated it as "Little flower" which has made it that much harder to find. And, of course, he would recite it primarily in French, which I don't know well, and just translate portions.
It can't be any more recent than the 1930s, and is probably older."
And that's all we've got! Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
