Ode to Autumn:
By John Keats:

John Keats:

             In 1819, John Keats composed six odes, which are among his most famous and well-regarded poems. Keats wrote the first five poems, "Ode on a Grecian Urn", "Ode on Indolence", "Ode on Melancholy", "Ode to a Nightingale", and "Ode to Psyche" in quick succession during the spring, and he composed "To Autumn" in September. While the exact order in which Keats composed the poems is unknown, some critics contend that they form a thematic whole if arranged in sequence. As a whole, the odes represent Keats's attempt to create a new type of short lyrical poem, which influenced later generations.

Summery of poem:

               Keats speaks  open his first stanza by addressing autumn, describing its abundance and its intimacy with the sun, with whom autumn ripens fruits and causes the late flowers to bloom. In the figure of Autumn as a female goddess,  often seen sitting on the greenery floor, her hair " soft lifted" by the wind , and often seen sleeping in the field or watching a cider press squeezing the juice from apple. In third stanza, tells autumn not to wonder where the songs of spring have gone but instead to listen to her own music , At twilight , "the river sallows" ,or  willow trees lifted and drooped by the wind and "full grown lambs", bleat from the bills, crickets sing robins whistle from the bill, crickets sing robins whistle from the garden and swallows, gathering for their coming migration, sing from the skies.
