AUTUMN LEAVES by BUREN A. MULLINS

First Line: OH, THE AUTUMN LEAVES ARE FALLING
Last Line: "GOOD-BYE, OLD FELLOW."
Subject(s): AUTUMN; SEASONS; FALL;

Oh, the autumn leaves are falling;
It is late
And the snow will soon be blowing
'Round my gate.
But 'tis the autumn leaves a-falling
I love to see,
As so many different colors
Leave the tree.

Everywhere I see them falling
To the ground,
In the bright and glistening sunshine
All around --
Some red, some brown,
Some a golden color --
One by one, they're falling,
Each to join the other.

And then the north wind comes a-puffing
Like a gale,
Taking red and golden colors
On the sail --
Toward a brook nearby they're sailing,
Red and yellow,
Whispering, as they pass me by,
"Good-bye, old fellow."
