AUTUMN, by JESSIE ALBERT BARNEY First Line: A dash of color, an azure sky Last Line: May it be to joy, and never to weep. Subject(s): Autumn; Colors; Harvest; Seasons; Fall | ||||||||
A dash of color, an azure sky, A fluttering wing goes darting by. A breeze sweet laden with dying ferns, A seed-pod shattered by beating storms. The evening lengthens for night-fall makes A quick appearance and slowly takes Hours long of daylight. Then fire lights grow And households ripple, in laughter's glow. A frosty morning, an icy breeze, A sun's weak flicker, and waters freeze. The breath is visioned upon the air; With "cats" and "witches" in nightly glare. Ah, this is autumn, and this is fall; The golden harvest season for all. As one has planted, so one will reap, May it be to joy, and never to weep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV ALONZO THE BRAVE AND THE FAIR IMOGINE by MATTHEW GREGORY LEWIS |
