Autumn Leaves

 Autumn Leaves 

Official Hymn of the Columbus Day sung in the Schools of The United States of America since 1908.

By:  

ALICE COOK FULLER, Deadwood, S.D.

The children should have small twigs, bearing Autumn leaves pinned to the shoulders, and small branches crossed on the breast. One larger branch should be held in the right hand, with its point touching the left shoulder.

SONG TUNE "Hold the Fort"

Hark ! The trees are all ashiver( motion 1) 
Strange sounds do they hear. 
See the crimson leaves aquiver- 
North Wind's drawing near.

Chorus 

"Come", he calls, "your playtime's over; 

Seek your beds so warm, 

Gently fall these seeds to cover- 

Guarding them from harm."

Autumn haze is sweeping o'er us, 

Leaves are red and gold,

 North Wind fairies sing the chorus

 To us as of old.

Chorus 

"Come", they say,- "Your playtime", etc.. 

See(motion2), the Autumn leaves are falling (motion 3) 

In the crisp, fresh air! 

Have they not heard North Wind calling 

All the leaves so fair?

Chorus 

"Come", he called, etc.

MOTIONS 

1. Shake the longer branches lightly. 

2. Raise larger branches to position above heads. 

3. Bring slowly down to position.

     

Gently swaying branches to and fro, march entirely across the front of the room, down the outside aisles, up the center aisle, and separating at the front, march to right and left, down the outside aisles, and across the back then from there to their seats. 

  

THIS HYMN WAS OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS AS THE OFFICIAL PLAY AND CONCERT ON THE OFFICIAL CELEBRATION EVENT OF THE CRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DAY ON THE DAY OF THE 12TH OF OCTOBER OF  THE YEAR 1908.

THE OFFICIAL HYMN IS TRADITIONAL TUNE OF THE PATRIOTIC HYMN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: " HOLD THE FORT". THE OFFICIAL HYMN OF THE CELEBRATION OF THE COLUMBUS DAY IS TRADITIONALLY CALLED THE AUTUMN LEAVES FOR MORE THAN A HUNDRED OF YEARS.

The text of the Hymn " Hold The Fort"

That which ye have hold fast till I come REV ii 25 

1. Ho my comrades See the signal Waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing, Victory is nigh!

"Hold the fort the fort for I am coming," Jesus signals still,

Wave the answer back to Heaven, "By Thy grace we will." 

2 See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on:

Mighty men around us falling, Courage almost gone!

"Hold the fort the fort for I am coming," Jesus signals still,

Wave the answer back to Heaven, "By Thy grace we will." 

3.3 See the glorious banner waving! 

Hear the trumpet blow! 

In our Leader's name we 'll triumph 

Over every foe!

4.4 Fierce and long the battle rages, 

But our help is near: 

Onward comes our great Commander, 

Cheer, my comrades, cheer!

CHICKADEE

 The Chickadee 

By KATHERINE CREIGHTON 

"Chick-a-dee-dee-dee! Chick-a-dee-dee-dee!" 

"Who are you?" asked Jack. 

"Chickadee!" 

"Where are you?" asked Mary. 

"I'm up on a tree. Chick-a-dee-adee-adee!" 

"I like your black cap," said Jack. 

"Dee-dee-dee-dee! I am sometimes called Black Cap."

'Your cap comes right down to your eyes," said Mary.

"Fe-bee Fe-bee!" 

"Your cap and your bib are black, and your cheeks white", said Mary.

"Chick-a-dee-dee-dee! Chick-chick-a-dee dee!"

 "Your breast is white, and your back, your wings your tail are gray," said Mary.

"Chick-adee-adee-adee!"

"What are you doing here in this cold winter weather?" asked Jack.

"Dee-dee-dee-dee! I don t mind the cold, and the wind, and the the snow so I always stay here in the cold winter weather. Dee-dee-dee-dee!".

"I thought you went south with the bluebird and robin," said Mary.

"No, I never go south with the bluebird and robin. Chick-chick-a-dee-dee!"

"Why didn t you go down to the warm, sunny south with the bluebird and robin?asked Jack.

"I'd rather stay here with the Nuthatch and Downy. Fe-bee! Chick-chick-a-dee-dee!'

"But where do you live in this cold winter weather?" asked Mary.

"I live in the heart of a great oak tree, in a snug little nest, lined with moss, leaves, and feathers. Chick-a- dee-dee-dee!"

 "Are you never cold in your nest in the tree" asked Jack.

"I've a thick feather coat, and no matter how much wind may blow, and the snow may fall, I'm safe and warm in my snug little nest in the great tall tree. Chick-a-dee-dee! Chick-chick-a dee-dee!"

"But the ground is all frozen and covered with snow, and the insects are gone,so what can you find to eat in this cold winter weather?" asked Mary.

"In winter I get all my food from the trees. Chick-adee-adee!"

"But we don t see any food on the trees!" said Mary and Jack.

"There are thousands and thousands of insects' eggs in the bark of trees, and I pick them out with my sharp little bill. Dee-dee-dee-dee!

"Can't you see how much good the chick-a-dees do when they eat up the eggs of the insects that eat up the leaves of trees?"

We work on the branches and the Nuthatches work the trunk. Chick-a-dee-dee-dee!"

"You are brave little workers out here in the snow," said Mary and Jack.

"All winter long you are helping to save the trees from their enemies, and all winter long you are cheerfuk, and happy, and bright."

"Chick-a-dee-dee-dee! I don t mind the wind, or the cold, or the snow.

"Chick-chick-a-dee-dee!"

"Fe-bee! Fe-bee! Fe-bee!" 

"Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee!"

"Chick-adee-adee-dee!'

 "Chick-a-dee!"
