AUTUMN, by EMILY DICKINSON Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: The morns are meeker than they were
Last Line: I'll put a trinket on.
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall

THE morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.
