Ode to Autumn

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-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the 
winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy 
hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a 
gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy 
laden head across a brook;
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
 Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

Where are the songs of spring? Ay, 
Where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,--
While barred clouds 
bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the 
stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river 
sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a 
garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skie.
by John Keats (1795 - 1821)
