OCTOBER BEAUTY, by MARY E. SOULE First Line: October rears an altar on the hills Last Line: Her cavalcade of wind-blown leaves sweeps by. Subject(s): October | ||||||||
October rears an altar on the hills, And lights her sumac tapers at the shrine; We bow in adoration for this gift: Enchanting colors, crimson as old wine. She flings frost crystals on the starry night; The sound of honking geese rings down the sky; Through quiet Indian summer dreamy days, Her cavalcade of wind-blown leaves sweeps by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FACING INTO IT; FOR LARRY LEVIS by ELEANOR WILNER A VAGABOND SONG by BLISS CARMAN THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: OCTOBER by EDMUND SPENSER LATE AUTUMN by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM OCTOBER by MARIE DAVIES WARREN BECKNER OCTOER WOODS by EMMA INGOLD BOST NORTH WIND IN OCTOBER by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES |
