Autumn

by Emily Dickinson

Autumn is a lovely Emily Dickinson poem usually read by early elementary students to introduce rhyming schemes, literary devices like personification, and build vocabulary using context. Autumn

　　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. Autumn was featured as The Short Story of the Day on Tue, Sep 22, 2020
