The Last Leaf
The last leaf is about one Major Thomas Melville, who was one of the Indians of the famous Boston Tea Party. Holmes uses the last leaf metaphor to show how Melville was still alive and proud in a time much past his own. I also think it is a tribute of respect to the old man. Holme's last lines show that Holmes himself would want to be remembered much the same way if he ever reached an age where he could considered the last leaf/in spring.
The end!! :)
