AUTUMN EVENING, by FEODOR (FYODOR) IVANOVICH TYUTCHEV Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: The light of autumn evenings seems a screen Last Line: In noble reticence of sad surrender. Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall | |||
The light of autumn evenings seems a screen, Some mystery with tender glamor muffling.... The trees in motley, cloaked in eerie sheen, The scarlet leaves that languid airs are ruffling, The still and misty azure, vaguely far, Above the earth that waits her orphan sorrow, And bitter winds in gusty vagrance are Forerunners of a bleak, storm-driven morrow. The woods are waning; withered is the sun; Earth shows the smile of fading, meekly tender As the high shyness of a suffering one, In noble reticence of sad surrender. | 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 JULY 14, AT NIGHT by FEODOR (FYODOR) IVANOVICH TYUTCHEV |
