COME SAID THE WIND TO THE LEAVES...


Come said the wind to the 
leaves one day,
Come o'er the meadows and
we will play.
Put on your dresses
Scarlet and Gold,
for summer is gone and
the days grow cold.


The Wind and the Leaves
by 
George Cooper (1840-1927)



Grateful thanks to Iowa Corn Dog for giving me the correct author of this delightful poem.  Much appreciate any help I am given by blogging friends.

    1. Thank you Tanza and how lovely :) This maple tree was on the grounds of a school and it was several years ago. The leaves that year were vibrant I remember.

  13. Lovely picture and poem, but you credited the wrong author. The poem for which you printed the excerpt is called “The Wind and the Leaves” by George Cooper (1840-1927), not George Eliot.
