The analogy of fall being full of fanfare makes the poem more remarkable-as
always in nature, all is loveliest before it final hour- a timeless piece.
He is evocative and haunting, one of my favorites. When I wrote my
children's book, I knew I would not come close to his poignancy-I simply
bow down.

What a way to describe autumn. The rhymes make you feel the air and the
freshness of the season.

My favorite season is fall, so I easily enjoyed this poem right from the
beginning. The way Longfellow describes autumn is almost magical. He uses
the word "gold" more than once, which is a word all too perfect to describe
autumn. The poem is very lyrical, and is, of course, about nature, easily
making it romantic. Longfellow used great natural imagery to bring the
reader along with him in his journey through autumn, and personification to
bring the season to life.
