THE LEAVES
(her first poem)
The leaves are yellow,
The leaves are brown,
They fall in the country;
They fall in the town.
The wind stirs the leaves
All yellow and brown,
Don’t you think they are pretty
As they flutter down?
Don’t you think they are pretty
The yellow and gold?
High up in the tree-top
So patient and bold?
The wind comes along
With a jump and a bound,
And the beautiful leaves
Fall to the ground.
