Answer 2

I don't know the correct poem but as far I think that the poet is comparing leaves with prey as prey is an animal which killed or hunted by some others animal for their food . There so many herbivores like cow. So the make the leaves their food . this too maintains the food web so leaves can be compared to being a prey
