'Some one Is coming some OCTOBER :
night,
A gay little elf who is dressed in
white
He pinches the leeves on the tall
rustling trees,
And yellow as sunshine they wave in
the breeze.
He touches the flowers in their pur-e
pie and red;
Alasi the next day they are withered
and dead.
He leaves on the grasses film-veil of
white,
Which melts away in the bright sun
light

chief he'll do,
For he makes the air fresh and he
makes the sky blue,
And no days are more beautiful
through the whole year
Than the October days when Jack
Frost has been here

behalf of our work, the good discipline
and advanced progress of their school.
