Put on your dresses of red and gold;
For summer is gone, and the days grow cold."

Down they came fluttering, one and all.
O'er the brown field then they danced and flew
Singing the soft little songs they knew.

Winter had called them, and they were content.
Soon, fast asleep on their earthy beds,
The snow laid a coveriet over their heads.
