TO AUTUMN

By: John Keats

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulnessClose bosom-friend of the maturing sun:

Conspiring with him how to load and bless

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;

To Bend with apples the moss’d cottage tress,

And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shellsWith a sweet kernel; to set budding more.

And still more, later lowers for the bees,

Until they think warm days will never cease,

For summer has o’er brimmed their clammy cells.
