Fall
By Jacques Prévert
Translated by A.Z. Foreman
A horse falls over in an alley
Leaves fall onto it one by one
Our love is shuddering.
So is the sun.
The Original:
L'automne
Un cheval s'écroule au milieu d'une allée
Les feuilles tombent sur lui
Notre amour frissonne
Et le soleil aussi.

Just a suggestion, I would simply translate "Les feuilles tombent sur lui" by The leaves fall on him.
