Written in the 1890’s, Emily Dickinson’s poem “Autumn” is a delightful short poem about the aspects of this season. Short but rich with lovely descriptions, it tells us some about the most colorful season of the year.

 

The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.
