WHEN every leaf has different hue And flames of birch trees blow, And high against November blue The white cloud's bent in bow; When buzzard hawks wheel in the sun, And bracken crowns the Cleave, And autumn stains the heather dun, And wan buds make believe; When droning thresher hums its song And tale of harvest proves, And rusty steers the lane-ways throng, And grey birds flit in droves; Then bird, and beast, and every tree And those few flowers that blow, Against the winter hearten me Who would no winter know! | 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 |
