"Ode to Autumn" by John Keats

[@WORCESTER2050]

How sad - the long warm gentle summer days of youth - freedom - unlimited enthusiasm and unlimited potential - all fading away. Can those careless days ever be redeemed - a large tear wells in my eye and runs sadly down my cheek. Gone, gone for ever those peaceful sunny days...

[@drjaydeepchakrabarty]

I can fully relate to your feelings and emotions ....though our summers may not have been similar; but yes..nothing can buy back us those moments......

Touched my heart.

This is a most beautiful version of Ode to Autumn. Amazing. Thank you.

I can almost smell the damp, delightful English woods and see the swallows.Thanks

[@englishforchildren4557]

In anticipation of winter, nature is calm and thoughtful, keeping memory of bright summer days. Voice and music are absolutely suitable for such scenery. Thank you for a wonderful autumn mood.

On September 19, 1819 John Keats wrote "Ode to Autumn." "To Autumn" is the final work in a group of poems known as Keats's "1819 odes". Although personal problems left him little time to devote to poetry in 1819, he composed "To Autumn" after a walk near Winchester one autumnal evening. The work marks the end of his poetic career, as he needed to earn money and could no longer devote himself to the lifestyle of a poet. A little over a year following the publication of "To Autumn", Keats died in Rome. One of the most anthologised English lyric poems, "To Autumn" has been regarded by critics as one of the most perfect short poems in the English language.

I always think of this as Keats acceptance of his own autumn that came too soon: his TB led him to closely observe and appreciate the beauty despite decline, that was his lot - he couldn't dwell on spring - it was past for him. What a loss.

[@frankandstern8803]

Such a riveting exquisite reading. As beautiful as the poem itself. Such a voice. Such a tongue. Thank You.

Janet, it is a misty morning in Karen, Nairobi. I found your recital of Ode to Autumn captivating. The poem came alive with your full sensual voice. The music and interludes provide space to listen and breath it all in. I've shared with many. Thank you.

[@neonpuss1]

You have done this beautifully. I was thinking of doing a picture version but your's is way better than I could manage. You have fitted the images to the text impeccably - and such beautiful scenes - very enjoyable - well done.

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close 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-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind; Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep, Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers: And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cyder-press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours. Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,- While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day, And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn Among the river sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft; And gathering swallows twitter in the skies

Love Autumn,Wish I could love you too,winter,but you I am poor,unable to afford the Comforts of the Wealthy who through Corruption,nepotism,Etc thrive in the the depths of Winter,gazing through their big windows in their big mansions,tax free,enjoy the whiteness of Snow near and far. The wretched of the World only glimpses of the seasons do we admire..

[@srikanthtupurani6316]

When I think about John Keats, I feel so unhappy. He was so unlucky. He faced so many bad things in life. He was so talented. But suffered a lot in life. It is frustrating.

[@TaseerkhanPoetry]

Ah, great words by Keats. But very few people can read these in poetic rhythm. I think you must be a poet to understand such rhythm in English poetry.
