AUTUMN COLORS (1) by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE CHESTNUT TREES TURNED YELLOW
Last Line: LIKE RUDDY OLD PORT WINE.
Subject(s): AUTUMN; SEASONS; FALL;
THE chestnut trees turned yellow,
The oak like sherry browned,
The fir, the stubborn fellow,
Stayed green the whole year round.

But O the bonny maple
How richly he does shine!
He glows against the sunset
Like ruddy old port wine.
