Flora Inferno
The leaves are aflame,
The leaves are aflame,
The heat of the summer is burning away.
The trees are on fire,
The trees are on fire,
And each leaf is falling to add to the pyre.
This flora inferno
Is chilling the air,
The trees are burnt out,
Their branches are bare.
The leaves are all gone,
The leaves are all gone,
Summer's retreated, the autumn has won.

October's Party
by George Cooper
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came-
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best;
All balanced to their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then, in the rustic hollow,
At hide-and-seek they played,
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In jolly "hands around."
