NORTHWEST AUTUMN, by EDNA LIGHT DYER First Line: This autumn is a gypsy maid Last Line: And turn her garments gray! Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall | ||||||||
This Autumn is a Gypsy maid Who stole an April moon To dress herself in flame-chiffon Beside a blue lagoon. She gathers colors recklessly To tangle in her hair, And spills her perfume, apple ripe, Upon the cool, crisp air. She dances through gold-wooded hills Half wild, a-gleam and gay, But rain will brew a witch's curse And turn her garments gray! | 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 |
