| Spring |
| A leaf blossoms, |
| Tender and new, |
| Full of life, |
| A youngster. |
| Summer |
| Now rich green, |
| No longer young, |
| It provides cool shade, |
| In its leafy greeness. |
| Fall |
| No more green, |
| All brown, red, and orange, |
| It flies down from the tree |
| Like a bird. |
| Winter |
| Now the leaf is gone, |
| Leaving the tree bare, |
| Until spring is here again, |
| The tree will shiver. |
