A Possible Explanation: I believe the metaphor at the end, "being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun", is referring back to the personification/simile seen here: "midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses".
In tandem, the word lemmings has two meanings, as read in the dictionary: "a small, short-tailed, thickset rodent related to the voles, found in the Arctic tundra."
and
"a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction."
I believe "autumn's fire" and "the sun" are both symbolic of war, an idea of it, and/or passion for it. I read that this poem is criticizing the human aspect that is war and how short-lived and ignorant it all ends up coming out to be.
I hope this helps ♡
As Bierce chooses to write the third section of the story through Farquhar's perspective, the story begins to reveal the use of figurative language that the previous two sections didn't include. In particular, Bierce makes use of imagery. He gives a vivid description of Farquhar's supposed escape and the sights and sounds he sees and hears. He describes nature in great detail; for example, the veins as well as the sounds of tiny insects.
