Chill autumn announces the death of the summer By low-wailing winds that return once again To chant their monotonous dirge to the forest And mournfully sing their sad song to the glen. The green of the hillside is changed now to somber And flowerlets have bowed their small heads to the earth; The brook in the meadow is still from its laughter And birds' songs no longer are filled with their mirth. Chill autumn announced the death of the summer By low-wailing winds that return once again To chant their monotonous dirge to the forest And mournfully sing their sad song to the glen. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG OF TWO CROWS by HAYDEN CARRUTH TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE by JAMES GALVIN THE LIFE SO SHORT by EAMON GRENNAN WHEN I RISE UP by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE ROAD TO AVIGNON by AMY LOWELL |
