Underneath the evening tree,
Dry leaves wait for Wally's need.
Carrot bed gets covered first.
Leafy blankets warm the earth.

Tuck the garden, warm and tight.
Cover little beds tonight.
Carrots, peas, and berries small,
Wally brings warm leaves to all.

Covered warm as warm can be.

One, two, three beds tucked away.
Garden rests till morning day.
Wally crawls beneath the soil.
Now he ends his caring toil.

Tuck the garden, job is done.
Leaves keep warmth for everyone.
Under soil so dark and deep,
Wally curls himself to sleep.

Leaves lie still; the moon shines in.
Good night, Wally. Good night, garden.
