"The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing,

The bare boughs are sighing, the pale flowers are dying, and the year

On the earth her death bed, in a shroud of leaves dead, is lying."

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

quote

"Come months, come away,

From November to May,

In your saddest array;

Follow the bier

Of the dead cold year."

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

quote

"oh wild West Wind, thou breath of autumn's being,

Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead

Are driven like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,

Yellow and black, and pale, and hectic red"

- Percy Bysshe shelley

quote

"In winter when the dismal rain
Came down in slanting lines,
And Wind, that great old harper, smote
His thunder-harp of pines."
- Alexander Smith

quote

"The leaves which in the autumn of the year
Fall auburn-tinted, leaving reft and bare
Their parent trees, in many a sheltered lair
Where winter waits and watches,
cold, austere."
- Old Year Leaves by Mackenzie Bell

quote

"Nature now spreads around, in dreary hue,

A pall to cover all that summer knew;

Yet in the poet's solitary way,

Some pleasing objects for his praise delay"

- John clare
