H. Listen to this poem and recite it in class.
The Wind and the Leaves
George Cooper
"Come, little leaves," said the wind one day,
"Come over the meadows with me and play:
Put on your dresses of red and gold,
For summer rs 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.
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.

The moon has a face like the clock in the hall·
She shines on thieves on the garden wall ' harbour quays: platforms
On streets and fields and harbour quays' on the sea coast where
And birdies asleep in the forks of the tre~s. ships stop
forks of the trees:
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse
The howling dog by the door of the house '
The bat that lies in bed at noon '
'
All love to be out by the light of the moon.
squalling: crying
But all of the things that belong to the day cuddle: sleep tightly while
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way; holding something or
someone in your arms
And flowers and children close their eyes
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.
