October
gave a party,
The leaves
by hundreds came.
the chestnut
oaks and maples
and leaves
of every name.
The sunshine
spread a carpet,
And everything
was grand,
Miss Weather
led the dancing
Professor
Wind the band.
The chestnuts
came in yellow
The oaks
in crimson dressed
The lovely
Misses Maple
In scarlet
looked their best;
All balanced
to their partners
And gaily
fluttered by;
The sight
was like a rainbow
New fallen
from the sky.
Then,in
a rustic hollow,
at hide
and seek they played
The party
closed at sundown
and everybody
stayed.
Professor
Wind played louder
They flew
along the ground
then the
party ended
in jolly
"hands around".

Cooper
