Tristan

This soft-pastel painting shows a boy with his puppy dog, as he sits in a Nebraska pasture with apples and golden gingko leaves of autumn.

October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came -

The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,

And leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet,

And everything was grand,

Miss Weather led the dancing,

Professor Wind the band.
