                                     AUTUMN WOODS

by James S. Tippett 

I like the woods

In autumn

When dry leaves hide the ground,

When the trees are bare

And the wind sweeps by

With a lonesome rushing sound.

I can rustle the leaves

In autumn

And I can make a bed

In the thick dry leaves

That have fallen

From the bare trees

Overhead.

                                               A LEAF

by Aileen Fisher 

If I were a leaf

(but I wouldn't be)

I'd have to be tied

to a tree, tree, tree.

I couldn't walk off

(or skip or run)

and my nose would get burned

by the sun, sun, sun.

In summer I'd roast,

(in winter I'd freeze)

and all through October

I'd sneeze, sneeze, sneeze.

                                             In Autumn

by Winifred C. Marshall

They're coming down in showers,

The leaves all gold and red;

They're covering the little flowers,

And tucking them in bed

They've spread a fairy carpet

All up and down the street;

And when we skip along to school,

they rustle 'neath our feet

                                     A Bed in the Leaves 

By Marian Kennedy

My yard is full of leaves today

Brown and yellow and gold

I think I'll rake them in a pile

Higher than my head

Then I'll pretend it is my bed

I'll jump in very quick

And pile their leaves up over me

For covers soft and thick

I'll just lie there so nice and warm

And look up in the sky

And watch more leaves float down for me

To rake up bye and bye
