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
Just what season it is supposed to be!

We See Leaves
We see orange,
We see brown,
We see leaves,
On the ground.
We see yellow,
We see red,
We see leaves,
Above our head.

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
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
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.

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.
