Four Seasons

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
     These are the seasons, four in all.
Weather alternates, sun and rain and snow,
     Leaves fall down or flowers upward grow.

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
     These are the seasons, four in all.
Look outside anytime and you will see

Enchantment

Picture of a quaint four-story house shaped like a round tower on a Winter day, with snow on the ground, on the branches of the trees, on the roof of the house, and falling from the sky, and the words, Visit www.MakeFunOfLife.net.

Enchantment

This is the way white
     enchantment is made:
Snowflake on snowflake,
     fluttering, laid.

Bushes and tree branches
     sparkling with white -
Stars from the skies, -
     scintillant, light.

This is the place where
     enchantment is made
Close by a stream,
     where birches wove shade.

All through the summer,
     for violets, sweet
As a soft kiss; now
     snow-kissed, their feet.

This is the song white
     enchantment is singing
With sleigh bells and snowflakes,
     rhythmically ringing.

Autumn Leaves

8/20/2025

Picture of a person’s feet and shoes as the person stands among golden brown leaves that have fallen to the ground, and the words, Humor And Inspiration And Learning About Autumn Leaves Gathered By David Hugh Beaumont - Visit www.MakeFunOfLife.net.

Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves are lovely,
     They rustle when I run,
Sometimes I make a heap,
     And jump in them for fun!

Autumn leaves float quietly down,
     And form a carpet on the ground,
But when those leaves are stepped upon,
     Listen for the crackling sound!

When you see crisp Autumn leaves,
     Gold and glowing in the sun,
It’s time to say goodbye to Summer,
     And hello to Autumn fun!

Jack Frost

Someone painted pictures on my
    Windowpane last night -
Willow trees with trailing boughs
    And flowers, frosty white,

And lovely crystal butterflies;
    But when the morning sun
Touched them with its golden beams,
    They vanished one by one.

Leaves

In autumn when the trees are brown,
     The little leaves come tumbling down,
They do not make the slightest sound,
     But lie so quietly on the ground,
Until the wind comes puffing by,
     And blows them off towards the sky.

The First Robin

8/17/2025

Picture of a North American Robin standing in a green grassy lawn, and the words, Visit www.MakeFunOfLife.net.

The First Robin

Through the chill of an early April rain
     I hear the note of a sweet refrain -
Has the robin come so soon?
     Heavy and dull are the skies without,
And my heart is filled with a dreary doubt,
     But the song is a song of June.

Robin, robin, you shame my faith,
     Your cheery song to my spirit saith:
Believe, and away with fear:
     I am not afraid, though the cold winds blow,
I am come at the call of God, and know
     That spring is surely here.

“So I seek my mate, and I build my nest,
     And I sing my song with a keener zest,
For the joy that is yet to be;
     Already the fullness of joy I share,
When my nest shall swing in the summer air
     On the bough of the maple-tree.”

Sing on, brave robin, your song shall be
     An inspiration of faith to me,
I, too, will begin to sing.
     Though my heart is chilled, and my pulse is low,
And my hopes lie buried under the snow,
     I am sure of a coming spring.

8/16/2025

Picture of leaves on a tree changing color from green to Autumn colors: red, yellow, orange, and brown, with a clear blue sky in the background, and the words, Visit www.MakeFunOfLife.net.

The Wind And The Leaves

“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, 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, -
Say you are sorry to see us go;
     Ah! you will miss us, right well we know.”

“Dear little lambs, in your fleecy fold,
     Mother will keep you from harm and cold;
Fondly we’ve watched you in vale and glade;
     Say, will you dream of our loving shade?”

Dancing and whirling, 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.

A Winter Surprise

Last night while I was sleeping
     The snow came softly down
And slipped on all the shrubbery
     A shining snowflake gown.

I guess that every little bush
     Felt startled with surprise
To find itself a cotton plant
     On opening up its eyes.

Let us go coasting

It is big and roomy;
     We can ride it double.
Two can get on it
     Without any trouble.

You can help me pull it;
     We can ride together.
Let us go coasting,
     For it’s splendid weather!

Get your coat and mittens;
     All the world is white.
Let us go coasting
     While the snow is just right!

Birds are back,

Busy bees are humming,
     On the trees,
Leaves are green,
     Caterpillars sunning.

How To Make A Snow Angel

8/11/2025

Picture of a snow angel made by someone lying on their back and moving their arms up and down across the snow, and the words, Visit www.MakeFunOfLife.net.

How To Make A Snow Angel

Go alone or with a best friend.
     Find a patch of unbroken snow.
Walk on tiptoes. Step backwards
     Into your very last footprints.

Slowly sit back onto the snow.
     Absolutely do not use your hands.
By now you should be lying flat
     With snow fitting snug around you.

Let your eyes drink some blue sky.
     Close them. Breathe normally.
Move you arms back and forth.
     Concentrate. Think: snow angel.

In a minute don’t be surprised
     If you start feeling a little funny.
Big and small. Warm and cold.
     Your breath as light as a snowflake.

Sweep your legs back and forth
     But keep both eyes tightly closed.
Keep moving the arms until they
     Lift, tremble, wobble, or float.

Stand without using your hands.
     Take time to get your balance.
Take three deep breaths.
     Open your eyes.
Stretch. Float. Fly!

Spring Rain

The storm came up so very quick
     It couldn’t have been quicker.
I should have brought my hat along;
     I should have brought my slicker.

My hair is wet, my feet are wet,
     I couldn’t be much wetter.
I fell into a river once
     But this is even better.

“Wake up, everybody,
     It’s spring! It’s spring!”

Come Join Us For A Hayride

The wagon waiting by the barn
     Is filled with new-mown hay,
So come and join us for a ride
     At eventide today.

The harvest moon will lead us
     Down the shadowed winding lane;
And as we cuddle close, we’ll sing,
     An old time refrain.

The chilly breeze at dusk will bring
     The scent of ripened wheat.
What other scent has nature made
     More delicately sweet!

Beyond the cornstalks piled high
     Like wigwams, we will pass
And gather golden pumpkins from the
     Frosty meadow grass.

Then dreaming solitary dreams
     Of other autumns past
When we were young, we’ll reminisce
     And head back home at last.

There’ll be cider, hot and steamy,
     So please say that you will stay,
And come and join us for a ride
     At eventide today.

The Miracle

I had waited all the winter for a sign
     Something wondrous, a miracle divine;
Today it came, a very lovely thing,

Blue wings a-gleam, a song bird’s sweetest strain,
     In gladness for spring’s miracle again.

Spring

The alder by the river,
     Shakes out her powdery curls;
The willow buds in silver,
     For little boys and girls.

The little birds fly over,
     And oh, how sweet they sing!
To tell the happy children,
     That once again ’tis spring.

The gay green grass comes creeping,
     So soft beneath their feet;
The frogs begin to ripple,
     A music clear and sweet.

And buttercups are coming,
     And scarlet columbine;
And in the sunny meadows,
     The dandelions shine.

And just as many daisies,
     As their soft hands can hold,
The little ones may gather,
     All fair in white and gold.

Here blows the warm red clover,
     There peeps the violet blue;
O happy little children,
     God made them all for you!

Autumn

The morns are meeker than they were,
     The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
     The rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer scarf,
     The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
     I’ll put a trinket on.

Winter

Cold and raw the north wind doth blow,
     Bleak in the morning early;
All the hills are covered with snow,
     And winter’s now come fairly.

When the Snow is on the Ground
     The little robin grieves
When the snow is on the ground,
     For the trees have no leaves,
And no berries can be found.

The air is cold, the worms are hid;
     For robin here what can be done?
Let’s strow* around some crumbs of bread,
     And then he’ll live till snow is gone.

By Author Unknown

*strow: an old form of the word ‘strew,’ meaning ‘to scatter, or throw about in a disorderly manner.’

Bed Of Leaves

The nicest bed I know
     Isn’t a bed of soft white snow.
Isn’t a bed of cool green grass
     After the noisy mowers pass.
Isn’t a bed of yellow hay
     Making me itch for half a day
But Autumn leaves in a pile that high,
     Deep and smelling like fall and dry.
That’s the bed where I like to lie
     And watch the flutters of Fall go by.

Out of June
     And into July.

Here are the fireflies

The end of August
     And first of September.

And here comes a caterpillar
     The last to creep
Out of summer
     And into sleep.
