AUTUMN, by DAISIE DELL CHURCHWARD First Line: The maple, standing long in green Last Line: Before her stark array. Subject(s): Autumn; Maple Trees; Seasons; Fall | |||
The Maple, standing long in green, Decided now to change her gown. She chose one of a golden sheen And touched it up with red and brown. She spread afar her golden arms O'er Autumn's changing scene, While sturdy oaks took quick alarm And wore a sombre mien. But soon her gown to tatters flew, Torn by the fitful lust Of ardent winds that scampered through And shook her with each gust. At last she stood in naked shame, Her finery blown away, While sturdy oaks grew quick aflame Before her stark array. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV MARRIAGE A-LA-MODE: SONG by JOHN DRYDEN |
