RED IN AUTUmN
Tipperty Toes, the smallest elf, Sat on a mushroom by himself, Playing a little tinkling tune,Under the big, round harvest moon. And this is the song that Tipperty made To sing to the little tune he played: "Red are the hips, red are the haws, Red and gold are the leaves that fall; Red are the poppies in the corn,Red berries on the rowan tall;
Red is the big, round harvest moon,
And red are my new little dancing shoon."
