| Autumn Colors |
| October gave a party, the leaves by hundreds came; The Chestnuts, Oaks and Maples, and leaves of every name. The Chestnuts came in yellow, the Oaks in crimson dressed; The lovely Misses Maple in scarlet looked their best. All joined with their partners and danced down from up high; The sight was like a rainbow new fallen from the sky. -- George Cooper |
| Golden sheaves stand ripening in the setting sun, Bounty of a fruitful harvest, a year's labor well spent. From tiniest seed to trees laden with sweet promise, The earth gives forth her joy in abundance. -- Franca de la Pena |
| Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold, Her early leaf's a flower, but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, so Eden sank to grief, So down goes down to day, nothing gold can stay. -- Robert Frost |
| Autumn breeze Changing leaves Colors red and gold Autumn sounds All around Beauty to behold. -- Author Unknown |
| Something told the wild geese it was time to go, Though the fields lay golden, something whispered, "snow." Leaves were green and stirring, berries, luster-glossed, But beneath warm feathers, something cautioned, "frost." Something told the wild geese it was time to fly, Autumn sun was on their wings, but winter in their cry. -- Rachel Field |
