Miss Maple Tree's Party

 Miss Maple Tree's Party
by Lynette Field

Miss Maple Tree a party gave
To all the leaves one day;
She asked each one, both great and small,
To join with her in play.

She asked her friend, the smiling sun,
To shed his warming ray;
She asked Jack Frost to kiss the leaves
And make them bright and gay.

She asked her friend, the howling wind,
For music for their dance;
And so he blew and blew and blew,
To make each bright leaf prance.

They whirled about and in and out
And fell upon the ground,
And then they skipped so far away
Not any could be found.
