AUTUMN BEAUTIES, by EFFIE WALLER SMITH Poet's Biography First Line: From stubble field, woodland and meadow Last Line: Nothing could lovelier be. Subject(s): Autumn; Beauty; Nature; Seasons; Fall | ||||||||
From stubble field, woodland and meadow. And roadside I gathered to-day A basket heaped full of fall beauties: Lovely gems of Nature are they. There are golden-rods, which are so golden You'd think they are sure enough gold: I found them close by the roadside, On cliff and on brown barren wold. There are asters of royal purple, With eyes of a bright yellow hue: And gentians I found by the brook-side, Delicate, dainty and blue. Golden-rods, asters and gentians, Prolongers of summer are ye; And to gladden the dull days of autumn, Nothing could lovelier be. | 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 GOOD-BYE by EFFIE WALLER SMITH |
