Autumn

Just because I think this is lovely ...

Autumn Leaves

Come little leaves said the wind one day
Come over the meadows with me and play
Put on your dresses of red and gold
Summer is gone and the days grow cold
Soon the leaves heard the wind's loud call
Down they fell fluttering one and all
Over the brown fields they danced and flew
Singing the soft little songs they knew
Dancing and flying the little leaves went
Winter had called them and they were content
Soon fast asleep in their earthy beds
The snow laid a white blanket over their heads

~ George Cooper
