In Autumn
Arthur Symons
1865 to 1945
Frail autumn lights upon the leaves
Beacon the ending of the year.
The windy rains are here,
Wet nights and blowing winds about the eaves.
Here in the valley, mists begin
To breathe about the river side
The breath of autumn-tide.
The dark fields wait to take the harvest in.
And you, and you are far away.
Ah, this it is, and not the rain
Now loud against the pane,
That takes the light and colour from the day!
Arthur Symons's In Autumn
I am busy working to bring Arthur Symons's "In Autumn" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Arthur Symons's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "In Autumn" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
