TO AUTUMN, by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: No more the glowing flowers of spring Last Line: For ah! Too soon it melts away. Alternate Author Name(s): Browne, Felicia Dorothea Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall | ||||||||
No more the glowing flowers of spring, Enrich the sweet romantic dell; Yet ah! the tints of Autumn bring, A fading charm, a soft farewell. Dear Autumn ! as thy sober hues Adorn the scene with shadowy grace; A mellow beauty they diffuse, Which pensive pleasure loves to trace. And dearer is thy transient calm, That wakes the mild and soothing tear, Than summer air of fragrant balm, Than all the treasures of the year. And sweeter is thy partial ray, For ah! too soon it melts away. | 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 A DIRGE (1) by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS |
