HOW THE LEAVES CAME DOWN.


I'll tell you how the leaves came down.
The great tree to his children said;
You're getting sleepy, Yellow ana Brown,
Yes very sleepy, little Red
"Ahr' begged each silly. pouting leaf,
Let US a little longer stay;
Dear Father Tree, behold our grief,
'Tfs such q very pleasant day,
We do not want TO go away.
So just for one more merry day
To the great tree the leaflets Clung,
Frolicked and danced, and had their way.
Upon the autumn breeZes swung.
Whispering, all their sports among.
Perhaps the great tree will forget,
And let US stay until the spring,
If We all beg and coax and fret
But the great tree did no such thing;
He smiled 70 hear their whispering.
Come children all. 10 bed he cried
And. ere the leaves could urge their prayer.
Fluttering and rustling everywhere,
Down sped the Leaflets through the air.
I them the ground they lay,
Golden and red. huGdled swarm.
Waiting till one from far away.
White bedclOthes heaped upon her arm
Should come TO wrap them safe and warm.
The great bare tree looked down and smiled
Good night. dear little leaves" ne said.
And from below each sleepy child
Replied. Good night and murmured
1t is so nice 10 go 10 bed"
Susan Coolidge.
