NOVEMBER 



Silk worm on the mulberry tree, 

 Thou hast spun and died for me ! 



MARY HOWITT. 



hyacinth cradle jackets 

 waterproof onion 



I am a hyacinth bulb. 

 The ground was my cradle. 

 All summer long I grew and 

 grew and grew. 



The bigger I grew the more 

 jackets I put on. 



Now I have a dozen jackets. 

 Outside of these I wear a waterproof coat. 

 See what a beautiful flower is inside me. 



I am protecting it from the cold and damp 

 of winter !
