The statement "The orange leaves capture the mood of waning life, autumn, and imminent death" accurately describes how a symbol present in the painting connects with the mood of the poem. The imagery of orange leaves is often associated with the autumn season, which symbolizes the end of life cycles and the transition towards death. This parallels the themes of decline and mortality that are commonly explored in poetry reflecting on the passage of time and the inevitability of death.
