SEPTEMBER, by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL Poet's Biography First Line: Sir goldenrod stands by and grieves Last Line: And tranquil goes the queen to die. Subject(s): Nature; September; Summer | ||||||||
SIR GOLDENROD stands by and grieves Where Queen September goeth by: Her viewless feet disturb the leaves, And with her south the thrushes fly, Or loiter 'mid the rustling sheaves, And search and fail, and wonder why. The burgher cat-tails stiffly bow Beside the marsh. The asters cast Their purple coronets, and below The brown ferns shiver in the blast, And all the fretted pool aglow Repeats the cold, clear, yellow sky. The dear, loved summer days are past, And tranquil goes the Queen to die. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ADVANCE OF SUMMER by MARY KINZIE THE SUMMER IMAGE by LEONIE ADAMS CANOEBIAL BLISS by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY THE END OF SUMMER by HENRY MEADE BLAND THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD SONNET: 14.
