WRITTEN ON A BRIDGE by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN SOFT SEPTEMBER BRINGS AGAIN
Last Line: AND FIND THEE CHANGELESS, PONT-Y-WERN.
Subject(s): BRIDGES; SEPTEMBER; WALES; WELSHMEN; WELSHWOMEN;
WHEN soft September brings again
To yonder gorse its golden glow,
And Snowdon sends its autumn rain
To bid thy current livelier flow;
Amid that ashen foliage light
When scarlet beads are glistering bright,
While alder boughs unchanged are seen
In summer livery of green;
When clouds before the cooler breeze
Are flying, white and large; with these
Returning, so may I return,
And find thee changeless, Pont-y-wern.
