To Autumn

"And I awoke and found me here, On the cold hill's side."

"I conjure you to think, at present, of nothing but pleasure."

"I feel that it would be no bad thing to be the favorite of some Fairy"

"I made up my mind to step indoors, and catch a sight flying between the showers"

"The thrushes and blackbirds have been singing me into an idea that it was spring, and almost that leaves were on the trees."

"Our gloom-pleas'd eyes, embower'd from the light, Enshaded in forgetfulness divine"

"Surely the mind of man is closely bound In some black spell"

"Soft voices had they, that with tender plea Whispered of peace, and truth, and friendliness unquelled."

"And he's awake who thinks himself asleep."

"Is this to be borne? Hark ye!"

"In summer luxury,--he has never done With his delights"

"The stock-dove shall hatch her soft brace and shall coo, While I kiss to the melody, aching all through!"

"Who loves to linger with that brightest one Of Heaven -- Hesperus -- let him lowly speak These numbers to the night and starlight meek"

"Yet do I sometimes feel a languishment For skies Italian, and an inward groan To sit upon an Alp as on a throne"

"He has his Winter too of pale misfeature, Or else he would forego his mortal nature."

"The bells had ceas'd, the prayers begun"
