ARCTURUS IN AUTUMN, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When, in the gold october dusk, I saw you near to setting Last Line: You will not stay to share our lengthening night. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Arcturus | ||||||||
When, in the gold October dusk, I saw you near to setting, Arcturus, bringer of spring, Lord of the summer nights, leaving us now in autumn, Having no pity on our withering; Oh then I knew at last that my own autumn was upon me, I felt it in my blood, Restless as dwindling streams that still remember The music of their flood. There in the thickening dark a wind-bent tree above me Loosed its last leaves in flight -- I saw you sink and vanish, pitiless Arcturus, You will not stay to share our lengthening night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNDER ARCTURUS by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN I HAVE SEEN THE SPRING' by SARA TEASDALE A LITTLE WHILE by SARA TEASDALE A MINUET OF MOZART'S by SARA TEASDALE A WINTER BLUEJAY by SARA TEASDALE |
