October In Red And Yellow

 

Leaves 

by Elsie N. Brady

How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,

 

 

Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.
 

At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air

 

Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.

 

 

Elsie N Brady was born on July 19, 1904. She died on September 15, 1990 at 86 years of age.  Elsie N Brady had been residing in Hackensack, Bergen County, New Jersey.
