Verses for Autumn

Here are a few of our favorite verses and even an Autumn story! Enjoy!
Autumn wind came stealing
Through the woods one day,
And creeping round the tree, he stole
Their beauty all away.
He tore their russet dresses,
Combed off their golden hair.
He blew away the tattered bits,
And left them brown and bare.

* * * * * * * *

Autumn winds are sighing,
Stealing through the forest brown,
As they softly pass the tree trunks
Little leaves come falling down.
But a stronger gale is blowing
And then the leaves themselves
Rise and dance about the forest
Just like little elves.
Faster, faster see them whirling
Till the gale has passed.
One by one the tired leaflets
Sink to rest at last.

* * * * * * * *

The north wind came along one day,
So strong and full of fun;
He called the leaves down from the trees
And said, "Run children run".
They came in read and yellow dress,
In shaded green and brown,
And all the short November day
He chased them round the town.
They ran in crowds, they ran alone,
They hid behind the trees,
The north winds laughing found them there
And called "No stopping please"
But when he saw them tired out
And huddled in a heap,
He softly said, "Goodnight my dears,
Now let us go to sleep."

My nice red rosy apple has a secret midst unseen;
You'd see if you could slip inside,
five rooms so neat and clean.
In each room there are hiding
two seeds so shining bright;
Asleep they are and dreaming
of a lovely warm sunlight.
And sometimes they are dreaming
of many things to be
How some day they'll be hanging
upon a Christmas tree

* * * * * * * *

The world is full of color
'Tis Autumn once again
And leaves of gold and crimson
Are lying in the lane
There are brown and yellow acorns
Berries and scarlet haws
Amber gorse and heather
Purple across the moors
Green apples in the orchard
Flushed by a glowing sun
Mellow pears and brambles
Where colored pheasants run

* * * * * * * *

October is a piper,
Piping down the dell
Sad sweet songs of sunshine
Summer's last farewell,
He pipes till grey November
Comes in the mist and rain,
And then he puts his pipe away
Till Autumn comes again

* * * * * * * *

Jack O Lantern, Jack O lantern
Your light it doth shine,
Sitting up upon the window
And your light it is mine.

Once you were a yellow pumpkin
Sitting on a sturdy vine
Now you are a Jack O lantern,
And in the night you will shine.

A sailor went to sea sea sea
to see what she could see see see
But all that she could see see see
was the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea

On a bright night like tonight.
For a night light is a slight light
On a bright night like tonight.

Swing, swing, sing, sing, here’s my throne and I am king!
Swing, swing, sing, sing, farewell earth I’m on the wing!

Free, free, over the lea, over the mountain, over the sea.

Calmly we move as the waves of the sea
Steadily beat on the shore.
Sheltering havens of peace shall we be
Till every tempest is over.

The morning sun has risen, let’s join our hands and go
To brightly flowered meadows, to forests green and gold.
Let’s find a secret hollow where fairies come to play,
And build a hut of willow branch where we may spend the day.
We do not care for danger, we are so strong and brave.
Our hands are ever ready to care, protect and save.
Whatever friend does find us, we lend to them a hand,
And do our best to give our best, to care and understand.
Let’s join our hands and follow, adventure beckons nigh,
To brightly flowered meadows, to mountains great and high.
We stand by one another, by Michaels’s side.
The sun does warm us everyday, the stars do guide at night.
Mother Earth doth secrets hold
In rocks and trees and flowers of old.
Long imprisoned thoughts enfold,
Here is wonder, here is gold.

* * * * * * * * * *

Run, run, run, run, to town, to town to have some fun.
Hop, hop, hop, hop, we will hop until we stop.
Skip, skip, skip, skip, we will skip and never trip.
Jump, jump, jump, jump, now we go down with a bump.

Legs that were left from you guess what.

Landed on a lazy snail
Lying on a lettuce leaf
And lunching like a garden thief.

Slyly found there way into the valley where the
Giggling gaggle of geese greeted the sun with song.

You’ll freeze in the breeze
And then begin to sneeze

Ah, the sparkling water tastes divine.
"Ah," said Aga, as he heard the great saga,
"What tall tales are told about bad Baba Yaga".
Ee, he shrieked in glee from tree to tree.

Oh, how the yellow flowers glow in the meadow.
OO, the huge owl swoops and hoots uhu, uhu.

Wiggle wiggle gnome
Wiggle wiggle here and wiggle wiggle there
Wiggle your fingers up in the air
Wiggle your shoulders up and down
Wiggle your nose and smile like a clown
Wiggle your legs both left and right
Wiggle wiggle here and wiggle wiggle there
Now sit down and don’t move a hair.

It’s in kiss and kick

But sometimes it’s
Modest as in know and knight.

By the river
Watch the quail quiver and quiver.

Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not.

"How do you do?"

My maid Mary,
She minds the dairy,
While I go a-hoeing and mowing each morn:
Merrily run the reel,
And the little spinning wheel,
Whilst I am singing and mowing my corn.

Midst the mountains melting snows
Murmuring breezes meekly blow;
But mighty winds among the vales
Meet mists that move o’er marshes pale.

Under your right leg on your knee
Bean bag bean bag 1-2-3
Under your left leg on your toe
Bean bag bean bag 1-2-3
And away you go

Wake up you sleepy heads and go and find the cows
The sun is so warm and the cows are all lost
I think I’ll rest until they come home….

My hands upon my head I place,
On my shoulders, on my face,
On my lips, by my side,
Then behind me they will hide.
Then I will hold them way up high,
And let my fingers quickly fly,
Hold them down in front of me,
Then I'll clap them, one, two, three.

* * * * * * *

Two little feet go tap, tap, tap,
Two little hands go clap, clap, clap.
A quiet little leap up from my chair.
Two little arms reach high in the air.
Two little feet go jump, jump.. jump,
Two little fists go thump, thump, thump.
Then we all put on a golden crown,
And last of all sit quietly down.

* * * * * * *

Tick, the clock says; tick, tick, tick,
What you have to do, do quick!
Time is gliding fast away,
Let us work and work today.

I'm standing, I'm sitting,
I'm writing, I'm knitting,
I'm reading, I'm counting,
I'm swimming, I'm mounting.
I'm eating, I'm drinking,
I'm talking, I'm thinking,
I'm giving, I'm taking,
I'm laughing, I'm looking
I'm washing, I'm cooking
I'm driving, I'm rowing,
I'm kneeling, I'm growing.
I show my right hand
I show my left hand,
I show both my hands
And now I sit still.

A wise old owl
Lived in an Oak
The more he saw
The less he spoke
The less he spoke
The more he heard
Why can't we be
Like that wise old bird.

My hands upon my head I place
On my shoulders, on my face
On my hips I place them so
Now I raise them up so high
Make my fingers fairly fly
Now I clap them, one, two three
Now I fold them silently.
