a. the recurring image of the falling leaves reinforces the idea that everything dies eventually.

Explanation:

In this poem, the author reflects on the idea of death. He tells us that a little girl is sad because the leaves are falling off the trees. However, what she does not know is that in the future, she will similarly be sad about the passage of time, because this is a reflection of her own mortality. The image of the falling leaves is repeated constantly as a reminder of the fact that everything dies eventually.
