The Queen of the Dancing Leaves

Her dark hair is crowned with amber leaves
Her dress is red velvet
She teaches the             leaves to dance
                          falling
 And turns them the color of the sunset
She jumps off the b r a n c h and
                                                       t
                                                         w
                                                             i
                                                         r
                                                       l
                                                     s
                                                         her way down.
Her dress spreads out- glorious!
Her graceful ways bring the fall, the autumn
The leaves follow her steps, victorious
You see them complete the dance she leads
But her Solo is seen only by the moon
The finale she dances after the last leaf
                                                               falls
To a mysticandmelencholy tune.
No one has beheld her beauty in those last steps
No one has seen that annual ballet.
She is the Queen of the Dancing Leaves
The most angelic of all the Fey.
