LOVE IN THE AUTUMN, by P. R. MINAHAN First Line: I cared not for autumn weather Last Line: And danced on the garnered sheaves. Subject(s): Autumn; Love; Seasons; Fall | ||||||||
I cared not for autumn weather, Nor the brown and curling leaf, With winter straining its tether Through the dim days, brown and brief; For love seemed of the summerand I saw the loves of the summer Lie cold on a golden sheaf. Then I read your eyes in the yellow Of an autumn afternoon, When the migrant bird to his fellow Called loud over marsh and dune; I read your eyes in the autumnand I felt that love in the autumn Surged warm as a love in June. The strands of your dark hair glinting To the rays of a roving light, The touch of your hand imprinting A message too fine for sight; Oh, these are of love in the autumnof love in the frost-white autumn, Cold fringed with the haze of night. Ah, 'tis now that I love the scurry Of the wild wind driving leaves, The night's low notes of worry, The rattle beneath the eaves; For I've met with love in the autumna love that was young in the autumn, And danced on the garnered sheaves. | 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 |
