Emily Dickinson on Autumn

"Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze."

Autumn By William Blake

O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained
With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit
Beneath my shady roof; there thou mayest rest
And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,
And all the daughters of the year shall dance!
Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.
William Blake

Autumn By R L Stevenson

In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
Robert Louis Stevenson

Autumn by Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Robert Frost

Autumn Quote 13 Emily Dickinson

The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.

Autumn Poems - John Keats

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.
- Ode To Autumn

Autumn QUote 11 Johnny Mercer

"The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold....
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands, I used to hold
Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon I'll hear ol' winter's song.
But I miss you most of all my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall."
- Johnny Mercer

Autumn Quote 10 Corby Magnuson

"Leaves drift softly earthward toward the grass
Spring and summer blend from green to gold
And so the seasons come full turn and pass
Day follows day and each of us grows old.

Somewhere there is a bright new shining day
And as these seasons pace and turn
We will live in joy complete and never say
That for younger days our hearts still yearn."

Autumn Quote 9 Thomas Hood

"I saw old autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like silence, listening
To silence."
- Thomas Hood

Autumn Quote 8 La Prevenchere

A September to remember.
An October full of splendor.
A November to treasure.

Autumn by Brett Rutherford

"Autumn, and none too soon for me.
Bitter blasts unshingle the trees
and scatter the birds - the diminution
to bone branch by gale's tooth.

Ave! I welcome you, Red Harvester
of yet another year! I kindle fire
and hold my midnight watch atop a hill."

Autumn quote by Hal Borland

"For the Fall of the year is more than three months bounded by
an equinox and a solstice. It is a summing up without the
finality of year's end."

Autumn Quote by Denis Waitley

"The season for enjoying the fullness of life -- partaking of the harvest,
sharing the harvest with others, and reinvesting and saving portions
of the harvest for yet another season of growth."

Autumn Quote by Carl Sandburg

"Corn wind in the fall, come off the black lands,
come off the whisper of the silk hangers,
the lap of the flat spear leaves."

Autumn Quote 3 Francis Bacon

"There ought to be gardens for all months in the year,
in which, severally, things of beauty may be then in season."
- Sir Francis Bacon

Which is so True,
The whole world becomes a Garden when it is Autumn or when you are in Love.
But Sir Francis Bacon dreams of Gardens which will bloom in every season.

But the New england Winter be so harsh, what flowers can bloom then, or the desert Summers.

But it is such a nice Dream.

Autumn Quote 2 Elizabeth Lawrence

"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. "

In a busy world, where everything is a Rush.
We jostle for space everywhere we go, we push over fellow human, as if a few minutes early we will reach.
Where food are served in under a Minute.

Where Pizza arrives faster than the ambulance.

We can take off sometime to watch the Autumn leaves.

Autumn Quote 1 by Emily DIckinson

Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.



One of the best renditions of what Autumn actually is.
A little on either side of the haze and show.
How beautiful!
