To Autumn

To Autumn

by John Keats

“To Autumn” is one of John Keats's most celebrated odes, renowned for its vivid imagery and evocative language. Composed in 1819, the poem captures the beauty and bounty of the autumn season, while subtly weaving in themes of time, transience, and the inevitability of change. Through personification and sensory detail, Keats portrays the season as a kind and bountiful goddess, nurturing the land and preparing for the coming winter. The poem concludes with a sense of peaceful acceptance, acknowledging the cycle of life and death that governs nature.
