EARLY AUTUMN, by WILLIAM ARNETTE WOFFORD First Line: Now is the season of slow days Last Line: Dear god! Must autumn come again? Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall | |||
Now is the season of slow days Returned with woodsmoke curling high; The melancholy time of year When wild geese give their lonely cry. The ghost of you comes back to me, And chirps the cricket mournfully At night beneath my cold grey stone. Must it always be thus for me? Grey are the ashes on my hearth; Grey will my thoughts be evermore Since you are gone and I am left To see charred wings upon the floor. Dead ashes in my heart -- and dead The leaves that fall upon the rain! Dark memories surge and stare at me, Dear God! must autumn come again? | 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 AUTUMN HILL by WILLIAM ARNETTE WOFFORD |
