The Wind and the Leaves
George Cooper
"Come,little leaves,"said the wind one day.
"Come o'er the meadows with me,and play,
Put on your dress of red and gold,-
Summer is gone,and the days grow cold."
Soon as the leaves heard the wind's loud call,
Down they came fluttering(飘摇),one and all;
Over the brown fields they danced and flew,
Singing the soft little songs they knew.
"Cricket,good-by,we've been friends so long:
Little brook,sing us your farewell song.-
语
Say you are sorry to see us go;
Ah!Yo will missusigh well weknow
语周
Dear little lambs,,in your fleecy(毛茸茸的)fold
Mother will keep you from harm and cold:
Fondly we've watched you in vale(山谷)and glade(林间);
Say,will you dream of our loving shade?"
Dancing and whirling(旋转),the little leaves went;
Winter had called them,and they were content.
Soon fast asleep in their earthy beds,
The snow laid a coverlet over their heads.
