SEPTEMBER, by JOHN DRINKWATER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Wind and the robin's note today Last Line: In robes of wisdom's wearing. Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; September; Fall | ||||||||
WIND and the robin's note to-day Have heard of autumn and betray The green long reign of summer. The rust is falling in the leaves, September stands beside the sheaves, The new, the happy comer. Not sad my season of the red And russet orchards gaily spread From Cholesbury to Cooming, Nor sad when twilit valley trees Are ships becalmed on misty seas, And beetles go abooming. Now soon shall come the morning crowds Of starlings, soon the coloured clouds From oak and ash and willow, And soon the thorn and briar shall be Rich in their crimson livery, In scarlet and in yellow. Spring laughed and thrilled a million veins, And summer shone above her rains To fill September's faring; September talks as kings who know The world's way and superbly go In robes of wisdom's wearing. | 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 |
