To AutumnISeason of mists and mellow fruitfulness,Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;Conspiring with him how to load and blessWith fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;5To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees,And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shellsWith a sweet kernel; to set budding more,And still more, later flowers for the bees,10    Until they think warm days will never cease,For Summer has o’er-brimmed their clammy cells.IIWho hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may findThee sitting careless on a granary floor,15    Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind,Or on a half-reaped furrow sound asleep,Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hookSpares the next swath and all its twinèd flowers:And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep20   Steady thy laden head across a brook;Or by a cider-press, with patient look,Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.IIIWhere are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?Think not of them, thou hast thy music too—25While barrèd clouds bloom the soft-dying day,And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mournAmong the river sallows, borne aloftOr sinking as the light wind lives or dies;30And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble softThe red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.Choose one of the poems assigned last week from The Norton Introduction to Literature for your analysis.
