  Tis such a very pleasant day, 今天这么舒服这么好,
  We do not want to go away." 我们一点儿也不想走掉”
  So just for one more merry day 于是又过了快乐的一天,
  To the great Tree the leaflets clung, 小叶子们挂在大树上,
  Frolicked and danced and had their way, 闹着,跳着,疯疯癫癫,
  Upon the autumn breezes swung; 在秋天的微风中摇摆,

  Come, children all, to bed! he cried; 大树喊道:“来吧,孩子们,都睡吧!”
  And ere they could renew their prayer, 他们来不及再说一句恳求的话,
  He shook his head, and far and wide, 大树就摇起头来,只见四面八方,
  Fluttering and rustling 4 everywhere, 到处纷纷扬扬,沙沙作响,
  Down sped the leaflets through the air. 小叶子在空中飞速下降
  I saw them on the ground they lay, 我看见他们躺在地上,
  Golden and red, a huddled 5 swarm 6, 金黄与深红,一大群相依相偎,
  Waiting till one from far away, 等待着冬姑娘来自远方,
  White bedclothes heaped upon her arm, 带着白色的睡衣,成千上百,
  Should come to wrap them safe from harm. 要把小叶子盖好,不受一点伤害。
  The great bare Tree looked down and smiled. 光秃秃的大树往脚下看看,
  Good-night, dear little leaves, he said. 微笑着说:“亲爱的小叶子,晚安!”
