Seasonal Poetry: Autumn

To make the experience as autumnal as possible, listen to this as you read.

In Coventry by James Daly, S.J. "My friends, the leaves, who used to entertain me/On summer afternoons with idle chatter,/Are dropping off in ways that shock and pain me./I wonder what's the matter./My friends, the birds, are quietly withdrawing;/The meadow larks are gone from fence and stubble;/Even the crows are gone; I liked their cawing./I wonder what's the trouble./My friend, the sun, is here, but altered slightly;/He acts more coolly than he has been doing;/He seems more distant, and he smiles less brightly./I wonder what is brewing." — “In Coventry” by James Daly, S.J.
