In Autumn

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.

~Winifred C. Marshall

This poem makes me smile.  I especially love its magical images -- autumn leaves tucking the flowers in their bed and the fairy carpet spread across the ground....
