This is the full text of the poem:

Come, Little Leaves

by George Cooper

"Come, little leaves,"

Said the wind one day,

"Come to the meadows

With me and play;

Put on your dresses

Of red and gold,

For summer is past,

And the days grow cold."

Soon as the leaves 

Heard the wind's loud call,

Down they came fluttering,

One and all.

Over the meadows

They danced and flew,

All singing the soft

Little songs they knew.

Have a good weekend and happy leaf hunting everybody!
