Autumn: A Season In Verse

For many of us Autumn, or as the Americans would say; Fall is the season of mixed emotions. Summer’s long days are replaced by a chill in the air. The colours on the trees and fields ripen to warmer hues and the harvest is brought safely home. Yet with this bounty there is the knowledge that Nature is turning her attention to the harder, colder Winter month’s ahead. Our collection of poems amplifies this balance between the loss of summer and the gain of the harvest with wonderful poems by such notables as Shelley, Yeats, Keats, Sheehan, Emily Dickinson and Longfellow. This collection is read for you by Ghizela Rowe and Gideon Wagner. 1 - Autumn - An Introduction 2 - Ode To Autumn By John Keats 3 - Ode To The West Wind By Shelley 4 - The Wild Swans At Coole By William Butler Yeats 5 - The Falling Of Leaves By William Butler Yeates 6 - Amongst The Redwoods Giant And Still By Daniel Sheehan 7 - Amoung The Rocks By Robert Browning 8 - Autumn In Cornwall By Algernon Charles Swinburne 9 - Autumn By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 10 - The Autumn By Elizabeth Barrett Browning 11 - An Autumn Rain Scene By Thomas Hardy 12 - An Autumn Sunset By Edith Wharton 13 - Autumn By Anne Bradstreet 14 - The Trosachs By William Wordsworth 15 - September 1819 By William Wordsworth 16 - Last Week In October By Thomas Hardy 17 - No!
