Paraphrase of the Poem:

The poet describes the beauty of the autumn season. Come autumn, and the leaves begin to change colour. They change into red and gold, and they start falling off the trees. With the weather getting colder, the leaves are covered in snow.

This journey of the leaves from the tree to their earthy beds is aided by their friend ‘the wind’. He ushers them to come over the meadows in their red and gold dresses and play with him. The wind reminds the leaves that summer has bid them goodbye and winter has set in.

The leaves, as if waiting for the wind’s call, come down fluttering, dancing, flying, and singing.

Their journey continues till they reach their earthy beds, where they fall into a deep sleep with snow covering their heads.
