Margaret Fay
JF you see in the autumn the leaves turning brown, And yellow and red. If you creep to the garden and peep at sundown At the leaves overhead, If you stay very silent, with never a word Or so much as a sigh, You’ll see the wind goblins Slip merrily by. If you watch them a-whirling as onward they go In the frolicking breeze, Y’ou will see them all dancing, first heel and then toe, On the leaves of the trees. And with brushes of grasses they paint them all red, And yellow and brown— If you watch you will see them Before the sundown! —Dorothy Maslen.
