Autumn has bestowed her accolade Upon the Blue Ridge Mountains. Over knoll and vale rare Persian carpets spread; In lonely glades exquisite Moslem prayer-rugs sun; Pool and tarn and runlet are magic crystals Which dazzling mirage give Of stately, arboreal mosques On far, magenta hills, While slender, swaying minarets, Leaf-lacquered in scarlet and umber, in damask and gold, Orient themselves in a alien sky Wherein both star and crescent Their measured pathways keep. Autumn has bestowed her accolade Upon the Blue Ridge Mountains. Splendid, hoary muezzins! Unto eager, listening hearts Your whispered summons come. | 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 AWAKENING RIVER by KATHERINE MANSFIELD |
