Joni Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning", even if it is not meant as such...

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I saw
was the sun thru yellow curtains and a rainbow on my wall.
Red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal beads to beckon.
Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day.
There's a sun show every second...

I also really like "Harvest Home" that Mousethief gave above.

Sinsull and Animaterra, your "Come Little Leaves" caught my eye. There are actually five verses (I'll write them out for you - via PM or where? please advise newcomer). In grade school my class memorized October's Party (clicky) by the same lyricist, George Cooper (a friend of Stephen Foster). I found both in a book of children's poetry a year or two ago. Now I'm wondering if "October's Party" was set to music as well.
