To Autumn, by 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-eaves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,

Behind the house is the millet plot,
And past the millet, the stile;
And then a hill where melilot
Grows with wild camomile.

There was a youth who bade me goodby

And summer came with lips aflame,
The gentle spring to woo;

And the time had come, as the shearer knew, to carry his swag Out Back.

Complete Poem

Once more she did unfold

All her beauty and her splendor
