Original text and translations
English text
- "Come, little leaves", said the wind one day,
- "Come o'er the meadows with me and play,
- Put on your dresses of red and gold,
- Summer is gone,
- Summer is gone and the days grow cold".
- And they were content,
- Soon, fast asleep in their earthy beds,
- The snow laid a blanket,
- The snow laid a blanket over their heads.
