GOOD-BY SUMMER, by CAROLINE CONVERSE First Line: O summer, you have said good - by once more Last Line: And o the splendor of your golden days! Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Summer; Fall | ||||||||
O summer, you have said good-by once more, And autumn now comes knocking at my door In rust-gold raiment . . . with lusty throat Crying the harvest . . . too, murmuring a note On winter with its glistening rain . . . The hills will be green again. The mountains, still and stately, ponder beneath cloaks of white On spring flowers, gay and colored, and the might Of rushing streams. O summer, I shall miss you, Want you so . . . your white moon and the blue Of dreaming hours . . . surely the zenith is your purpling haze, And O the splendor of your golden days! | 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 THE CHIMNEY SWEEPER, FR.
