Qctoher,a Party

October gave party;
The leaves by hundreds came
The Chestnuts, Oaks and Naples.
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 the rustic hollow.
At hide-and-seek they played
The party closed at sundown.
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They few along the ground;
And then the party ended
