Autumn by Emily Dickinson
Autumn is a lovely Emily Dickinson poem usually read by early elementary students to introduce rhyming schemes,
The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I’ll put a trinket on.
