To Autumn
1
Season of mists and mellow
fruitfulness
，⑴
Close bosom-friend of the
maturing sun
，⑵
Conspiring with him ⑶how to
load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the
thatch-eves run
；⑷
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.
2
Who hath not seen thee oft⑸ amid thy
store？
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad⑹ may
find
Thee sitting careless on a granary
floor
，
Thy hair sort-lifted by the
winnowing wind
；
Or on a half-reap'd furrow
sound asleep
，⑺
Dows'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
⑻hours by hours.
3
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
，⑼
And touch the stubble-
plains with rosy hue
；
Then in a
waiful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river
sallows
，⑽ borne aloft⑾
Or sinking as
the light wind lives or
dies
；
And full-grown lambs loud
bleat from hilly bourn
；⑿
Hedge-crickets
sing
；
and now
with treble ⒀soft
The red-breast whistles
form a garden-croft
；⒁
And gathering
swallows twitter in the skies.

La Belle Dame Sans Merci
I.
O WHAT can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has wither’d from the lake,
And no birds sing.
II.
O what can ail thee,
knight-at-arms!
So haggard and so woe-
begone?
The squirrel’s granary is
full,
And the harvest’s
done.
III.
I see
a lily on thy brow
With anguish moist
and fever dew,
And on thy cheeks a
fading rose
Fast withereth too.
IV.
I met a lady in the
meads,
Full beautiful -
a
faery’s child,
Her hair was
long, her foot was light,
And her eyes
were wild.
V.
I made a
garland for her head,
And bracelets
too, and fragrant zone;
She look’d at
me as she did love,
And
made sweet moan.
VI.
I set
her on my pacing steed,
And nothing
else saw all day long,
For sidelong
would she bend, and sing
A faery’s
song.
VII.
She
found me roots of relish sweet,
And
honey wild, and manna dew,
And sure in
language strange she said -
VIII.
She took me
to her elfin grot,
And there she wept,
and sigh’d fill sore,
And
there I shut her wild wild eyes
With
kisses four.
IX.
And there
she lulled me asleep,
And there I
dream’d
- Ah! woe betide!
The latest dream I ever dream’d
On the
cold
hill’s side.
