Such a simple poem, but so pleasant in its rhyme and simplicity. Definitely a favorite when I was teaching!
Down, DownEleanor Farjeon
Down, down
Yellow and brown
The leaves are falling
Over the town.

Eleanor Farjeon was born in 1881 and died in 1965. She was an English writer who wrote primarily children's stories and poetry. In her honor, the Children's Book Circle created an annual award in her name for outstanding work in the area of children's literature. She never married, but had two long-term relationships. One was recounted in a book Eleanor, Portrait of a Farjeon by Dennis Blakelock in 1966. She was well-known for her hymn "Morning Has Broken," which was later recorded by Cat Stevens.
