A FROST came overnight. Then all the day The leaves fell groundward, fluttered down in shoals, With sound of sober music, from the trees, Until foot-farers plowed through russet waves That rustled crisply, fresh with scents of earth; All day the air was yellow with the flight. The sun at noon was mystic-large and seemed To faint in smoke, -- but when it sank and set It left the West a miracle, a place Where somber autumn tints waked suddenly Into an ecstasy of vivid lights And trembling fires, that passed to mortal calms. Then came the eve and with her lovely eyes Soothed all the sunset passion, made the sky A haunt for spirits and a home for stars. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BROKEN BALANCE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS GEOMETAPHYSICS by MARGARET AVISON NIAGARA by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SOPHISTICATION by CONRAD AIKEN I SEE CHILE IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR by AGHA SHAHID ALI WASHING OUR HANDS OF THE REST OF AMERICA by MARVIN BELL THE EARTH IS A LIVING THING by LUCILLE CLIFTON BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
