Hi Anagha, welcome to EL&U. Proofreading questions (e.g. "Is this correct?", "Is there a better way to write this?") are off-topic unless a specific source of concern in the text is clearly identified. For further guidance, see How to Ask and take the Tour. PS a tree sheds leaves but a leaf sheds water :-)

Whichever fits the metre of the poem. "Sheds" is more idiomatic, but that's not the only consideration.

If the OP is asking which sentence of theirs is more poetic, I cannot answer. The title of the question is, however, ungrammatical.
leaves shed
leaves fall off (the trees)
But I can illustrate how the term "shed" should/can be used.
Q: What does a leaf shed?
A: Moisture? Clorophyll?
Q: What do trees shed?
A: If the trees are deciduous then the answer is leaves
1 (of a tree or shrub) shedding its leaves annually.
‘sun-loving deciduous trees like aspen’
Q: What do tears shed? A: Saline?
Q: What do eyes shed? A: Tears
shed tears
Weep; cry.
‘You would almost see the palm trees weeping and shedding tears.’
