Ausuma's Party
Royal robes the trees are wearing.
Colors green, red. russell, gold.
Untold pleasure we are sharing.
AS new stintS each day unfold.
Naples, large and rather portly,
Generous robes OF gayest red,
While beside them. sweet and modest,
Dainty birches lightly tread.
While the brightest red and yellow
Robe so many through the fall,
Gnarled old oaks wear changing rus
TIL the wind has barred them all.
In the forest stands the pine tree
Stately, grand, in richest green,
Close beside her, gayly huttering,
Yellow poplars toward her lean.
IT'S some grand, great farewell party
Given just at harvest close.
Greeting, Frightening, cheering, help
ing
Us to feel,z-such faith each shows.
Soon the gay becomes more sombre.
Soon the tree stands bare and tall,
But the cheer we will remember,
Fen tho SHOWS shall cover all.
