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.
