THE YEAR'S SHEDDINGS by GEORGE MEREDITH

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE VARIED COLOURS ARE A FITFUL HEAP
Last Line: READ THAT, WHO STILL TO SPELL OUR EARTH REMAIN.
Subject(s): DEATH; LEAVES; DEAD, THE;

THE varied colours are a fitful heap:
They pass in constant service though they sleep;
The self gone out of them, therewith the pain:
Read that, who still to spell our earth remain.
