The Leaves Party
Music By Jessie L. Gaynor, Lyrics By Alice C.D. Riley
From "Songs Of The Child World" (1895)
The leaves
had a party one Autumn day and invited the North Wind bold. They put on
their dresses of crimson and brown with their borders splashed with
gold.
At first, they danced to a
merry tune, and the North Wind whirled them round. She tossed them
roughly to and fro, till they fell upon the ground.
And then
kind, old Dame Winter came. She pitied the tired leaves so. She laid
them gently on the grass and covered them all with snow.
