Wynter Wakeneth al my care : By Annonymous : : Midieval Winter Poem : : : :
‘Wynter wakeneth al my care’ is one of the earliest surviving winter poems in English literature. Below we offer the poem in its original Middle English spelling, followed by a modern English paraphrase designed to help summarise the poem, and then a few words analysing this fine lyric.

Wynter wakeneth al my care,
Nou this leves waxeth bare;
Ofte I sike ant mourne sare
When hit cometh in my thoht
Of this worldes joie, hou hit goth al to noht.

Nou hit is, and nou hit nys,
Al so hit ner nere, ywys;
That moni mon seith, soth hit ys:
Al goth bote Godes wille:
Alle we shule deye, thah us like ylle.

Al that gren me graueth grene,
Nou hit faleweth albydene:
Jesu, help that hit be sene
Ant shild us from helle!
For y not whider y shal, ne hou longe her duelle.

A Brief Rewording of explanatory notes : : : :

Winter awakens all my sorrow, now these leaves grow bare; often I sigh and mourn sorely when I come to think of this world’s joy, and how it all goes to nothing. Now it is, now it is not [i.e. now you see it, now you don’t]; as though it had never been, truly. Many men say this, and it is so: everything goes except God’s will, and we shall all die, though we don’t like it [like it ill]. All that green [i.e. grass] which grows green, now it fades altogether: Jesus, help this to be seen [i.e. understood], and shield us from hell! For I don’t know where I shall go, nor how long I shall dwell here. : : : :

dated the winter-manuscriptpoem to around 1310 ( By Edward Bliss Reed, in a 1928 article for Modern Language Notes and records that the poem is thought to have been composed in Leominster, Herefordshire. In short, it’s a very early poem written in recognisable middle English ) : : : : Theodore Silverstein’s English Lyrics Before 1500 places it ‘before 1340’, so several decades (at least) before Geoffrey Chaucer began writing. : : : :

How like a winter hath my absence been : Sonnet 97 : William Shakespeare : : Sonnets : Winter Poems : :

Circa 1600, English playwright and poet William Shakespeare (1564-1616). (Photo by Stock Montage/Getty Images) : : While William Shakespeare’s reputation is based primarily on his plays, he became famous first as a poet. The study of his nondramatic poetry can illuminate Shakespeare’s activities as a poet emphatically of his own age , the last ten or twelve years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Shakespeare’s exact birth date remains unknown. He was baptized in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon on April 26, 1564, his mother’s third child, but the first to survive infancy. This has led scholars to conjecture that he was born on April 23rd, given the era’s convention of baptizing newborns on their third day. Shakespeare’s father, John Shakespeare, moved to Stratford in about 1552. : : The sonnets were apparently composed during a period of ten or a dozen years starting in about 1592-1593. : : Known colloquially as “The Bard” or “The Bard of Avon,” Shakespeare was also an actor and the creator of the Globe Theatre, a historical theatre, and company that is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year.

His works span tragedy, comedy, and historical works, both in poetry and prose. And although the man is the most-recognized playwright in the world, very little of his life is actually known. No known autobiographical letters or diaries have survived to modern day, and with no surviving descendants, Shakespeare is a figure both of magnificent genius and mystery. Interest in Shakespeare’s nondramatic writings has increased markedly in recent years.They contribute in powerful ways to a deeper understanding of Shakespeare’s oeuvre and the Elizabethan era in which he lived and wrote. : : “SHAKE-SPEARES / SONNETS / Never before Imprinted.” is the publication : :

**The 154 sonnets are conventionally divided between the “young man” sonnets (1-126) and the “dark lady” sonnets (127-152), with the final pair often seen as an envoy or coda to the collection.**

Sonnet 97: How like a winter hath my absence been
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December’s bareness everywhere!
And yet this time remov’d was summer’s time,
The teeming autumn, big with rich increase,
Bearing the wanton burthen of the prime,
Like widow’d wombs after their lords’ decease:
Yet this abundant issue seem’d to me
But hope of orphans and unfather’d fruit;
For summer and his pleasures wait on thee,
And thou away, the very birds are mute;
Or if they sing, ’tis with so dull a cheer
That leaves look pale, dreading the winter’s near.

This sonnet describes the Winter scene wherein the speaker is absent from his lover. The poem refers an autumn too ,but finally the winter returns, hence this is a winter poem.

Summary : : When I was away as removed from you, although it was literally summer, it felt like winter, because I was apart from you. I have felt cold, the days have appeared dark, and it feels like December everywhere I look, with everything bare and empty.

Yet when I was removed from you it was summer – or late summer, early autumn – with the fruitfulness of nature one associates with that time of year. It’s a bit like a lord’s widow, who fell pregnant with her husband’s child but who was made a widow before the child was born.

Yet all this abundance seemed to me to be like an fatherless child; because you are free to enjoy summer with all its pleasures, while I – because away from you – have to dwell in winter, when no birds sing. Or, if they do sing, it’s such a sad song that it makes all the leaves on the trees pale, because they dread the approach of winter. : : : :

Autumn In Taos : D H Lawrence : : Aurumn Poems : :

**Evening Lights on Sangre de Cristo Mountains : Grandeur of New Mexico**

Autumn In Taos By D H Lawrence :
OVER the rounded sides of the Rockies, the aspens of autumn,
The aspens of autumn,
Like yellow hair of a tigress brindled with pins.

Down on my hearth-rug of desert, sage of the mesa,
An ash-grey pelt
Of wolf all hairy and level, a wolf’s wild pelt.

Trot-trot to the mottled foot-hills, cedar-mottled and piñon;
Did you ever see an otter?
Silvery-sided, fish-fanged, fierce-faced whiskered, mottled.

When I trot my little pony through the aspen-trees of the
canyon,
Behold me trotting at ease betwixt the slopes of the golden
Great and glistening-feathered legs of the hawk of Horus;
The golden hawk of Horus
Astride above me.

But under the pines
I go slowly
As under the hairy belly of a great black bear.

Glad to emerge and look back
On the yellow, pointed aspen-trees laid one on another like
Feathers,
Feather over feather on the breast of the great and golden
Hawk as I say of Horus.

Pleased to be out in the sage and the pine fish-dotted foot-
hills,
Past the otter’s whiskers,
On to the fur of the wolf-pelt that strews the plain.

And then to look back to the rounded sides of the squatting
Rockies,
Tigress brindled with aspen
Jaguar-splashed, puma-yellow, leopard-livid slopes of America.

Make big eyes, little pony
At all these skins of wild beasts;
They won’t hurt you.

Fangs and claws and talons and beaks and hawk-eyes
Are nerveless just now.
So be easy

Autumn Poems

Autumn Rain : D H Lawrence : : Autumn Poems : :

Autumn Rain by DH Lawrence : : : : ( ) Autumn Rain

The plane leaves
fall black and wet
on the lawn;

the cloud sheaves
in heaven’s fields set
droop and are drawn

in falling seeds of rain;
the seed of heaven
on my face

falling — I hear again
like echoes even
that softly pace

heaven’s muffled floor,
the winds that tread
out all the grain

of tears, the store
harvested
in the sheaves of pain

caught up aloft:
the sheaves of dead
men that are slain

now winnowed soft
on the floor of heaven;
manna invisible

of all the pain
here to us given;
finely divisible
falling as rain.

D. H. Lawrence’s “Autumn Rain” : : First published in 1917 in the Egoist ( February ’17 ) under the editorship of Dora Marsden and Harriet Shaw Weaver. The casualties of the First World War may be hinted at by Lawrence’s ‘dead / men that are slain’. The harvest time and Christian redemption are united under the rain falling from heaven. The same is echoed in the shortness of lines in the short Stanzas of the poem just like the shortness equally sensed in the small droplets of the Autumny Rain ! !

Harvest time is well lighted by visions of less miraculous phenomenon. The sky, “heaven’s muffled floor”, is thrashing about the floor where “winds” separates seeds from the chaff or husks coverings in the processing of ” harvest” ( of the dead !? ) : : Its remarkable that ” heaven” is not capitalised ( No “H” ) : “manna” ( sugary exudation of Heavenly trees ) is a miraculous food from the heaven that God gave to Israelis during ‘exodus’ as per story telling in the ‘Old Testament’ : Except this word ” manna” , there is no other reference to ‘God’ : : so , the poet has conveyed nothing about ‘divine intervention ‘: : However , the Poet has done nothing specific to present a realistic thought of poetics which is reassuring the theologians.

He taught from 1941 to 1945 in American universities, followed by occasional visiting professorships in the 1950s. From 1947 to 1957 he wintered in New York and summered in Ischia; from 1958 until the end of his life he wintered in New York (in Oxford in 1972–73) and summered in Kirchstetten, Lower Austria.his first book Poems at the age of twenty-three in 1930; it was followed in 1932 by The Orators. Three plays written in collaboration with Christopher Isherwood between 1935 and 1938 built his reputation as a left-wing political writer. Auden moved to the United States partly to escape this reputation, and his work in the 1940s, including the long poems “For the Time Being” and “The Sea and the Mirror”, focused on religious themes. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his 1947 long poem The Age of Anxiety, the title of which became a popular phrase describing the modern era. : From 1956 to 1961 he was Professor of Poetry at Oxford; his lectures were popular with students and faculty, and served as the basis for his 1962 prose collection The Dyer’s Hand. : Isherwood maintained a lasting but intermittent relationship from around 1927 to 1939, : In 1939, Auden fell in love with Chester Kallman and regarded their relationship as a marriage, but this ended in 1941 when Kallman refused to accept the faithful relations that Auden demanded :In 1940–41, Auden lived in a house at 7 Middagh Street in Brooklyn Heights, that he shared with Carson McCullers, Benjamin Britten, and others, which became a famous centre of artistic life, nicknamed “February House”: His reconversion to Episcopal Church, was influenced partly by what he called the “sainthood” of Charles Williams, whom he had met in 1937, and partly by reading Søren Kierkegaard and Reinhold Niebuhr; his existential, this-worldly Christianity became a central element in his life. : mid-1945, after the end of World War II in Europe, he was in Germany with the US Strategic Bombing Survey, studying the effects of Allied bombing on German morale, an experience that affected his postwar work as his visit to Spain had affected him earlier : the two , Auden & the poet Chester Kallman, who became his lover maintained their friendship, and from 1947 until Auden’s death they lived in the same house or apartment. He said that he shed tears of joy at owning a home for the first time. In February 1972, Auden moved his winter home from New York to Oxford, where his old college, Christ Church, offered him a cottage, while he continued to spend summers in Austria with Kallman. He spent only one winter in Oxford before his death in 1973.. Auden died of heart failure at the Altenburgerhof Hotel in Vienna overnight on 28–29 September 1973, a few hours after giving a reading of his poems at the Austrian Society for Literature.

Autumn Song By W H Auden
Now the leaves are falling fast,
Nurse’s flowers will not last;
Nurses to the graves are gone,
And the prams go rolling on.

Whispering neighbours, left and right,
Pluck us from the real delight;
And the active hands must freeze
Lonely on the separate knees.

Dead in hundreds at the back
Follow wooden in our track,
Arms raised stiffly to reprove
In false attitudes of love.

Starving through the leafless wood
Trolls run scolding for their food;
And the nightingale is dumb,
And the angel will not come.

Cold, impossible, ahead
Lifts the mountain’s lovely head
Whose white waterfall could bless
Travellers in their last distress.

In The sixth of Auden’s “Twelve Songs,” The natural nostalgia of autumn is a figure of love frustrated by the world and by neighbors. The leaves falling lead to the world of dreams, the Mountains of Instead.Autumn Song’ is a fine lyric about the brevity of youth and life’s disappointments, and takes the falling leaves of autumn as its starting point. : : The Sixth Song is more simpler than the Iv Th & V Th Songs. Four-line , 5 stanzas of trochaic tetrameter catalectic (without the final unstressed syllable, so the rhymes are masculine) with an AABB rhyme scheme. : : : :

The leaves of the branches of the tree are falling and the trees are becoming leafless. It is also meant by a person who slowly goes to its death and at last in a grave. : :

Autumn : T E Hulme : : Autumn Poems : :

T. E. Hulme ( 1883 – 1917 ) one of the founders of the imagist movement, was born on September 16, 1883, in Endon, England. Hulme is a poet from whom Pound and Eliot have derived the poetic materials and think him fit to be called so. His poetry is imagery, a study in imagism and imagistic elements. If poetry is criticism of life to Arnold, poetry is imagism and imagery, coming down to as a trail of images to Hulme. He was killed in action during World War I on September 28, 1917. He died in the prime of his youth just like Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen and others, got killed in the War while serving in Belgium. Hulmes Modernist / Imagistic poetry was different from Georgian poet like Rupert Brooke and John Drinkwater Or even from the Victorian’ poets such as Thomas Hardy.

Autumn
BY T. E. HULME
A touch of cold in the Autumn night—
I walked abroad,
And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge
Like a red-faced farmer.
I did not stop to speak, but nodded,
And round about were the wistful stars
With white faces like town children.

Hulme in his 1908 poem, Autumn sets up a delicate relationship between the ruddy ( chromatic Blood red ) moon ( May be due to Sunset ), the red face of a farmer, and the time of – autumn – through an unverbalized ‘harvest’. He catches the pensive or a sad image of stars of the season of autumn. After being touched by the cold of Autumn. He steps outside / abroad and walks perhaps without any aim into the countryside with the ruddy moon hanging over a hedge and marking it just like a red-faced farmer. He just nods his head in reply to the ruddy moon lurking over a hedge just like a red-faced farmer and sees the sadness of stars like the white-faced town children. ( May be , because of the smog , dirt and grimness of town – life they stand out among their surroundings, much as the stars shine out against the darkening evening sky.) We can derive some sort of sadness as the poet expressed in his word, ” wistful stars ” : : A 7 lines Stanza in a brief Modernist poem has become expressive without any rhyme.

Priest Nirmaladasji referred Devshankar Shukla to make Ghari in 1838.

Ghari was prepared by the Devshankar Shukla for Tatya Tope in bad health to him and to provide extra strength to the freedom fighter’s tired and sick soldiers in 1857. However, it began to be consumed during inauspicious occasions too, particularly by people of some castes in the crematorium for peace to the soul of the dead. : : ઘારીમાં રવો, મેંદો તેમજ ભરપૂર માત્રામાં સુકો મેવાને મેળવીને બનાવવામાં આવે છે. માવો અને સુકા મેવાના આ મિશ્રણને કચોરીની જેમ પેક કરવામાં આવે છે. આ તૈયાર થયેલી કાચોરીને શુદ્ધ ઘીમાં જબોળવામાં આવે છે. આ ઘારીની ફરતે ઘીનું થર જામી ગયા બાદ સુરતીઓ તેને આરોગતા હોય છે. ઘારી ખાવા ઘણા સમયથી તલપાપડ બની રહેલા સુરતીઓ ચંદી પડવાના દિવસે કોઈ પણ ડાઈટ પ્લાનનું પાલન કરતા નથી, તે દિવસે બધું ભૂલીને માત્રને માત્ર ઘારીમય બની જાય છે. પાઈનેપલ ,સ્ટ્રોબેરી, કેસર પીસ્તા, કેસર એલચી, બદામ એલચી , કલકત્તી પાન વિ. ની ની ફ્લેવર્ડ વેરાયટીનો પણ સમાવેશ થાય છે. જયારે ડાયાબીટીસના દર્દીઓ માટે સુગર ફ્રી ઘારી **પણ બનાવવામાં આવે** છે. ચંદની પડવાના પંદર દિવસ પહેલાથી જ મીઠાઈ વિક્રેતા અન્ય મીઠાઈ કરતા ઘારી બનાવવવા પર વિશેષ ધ્યાન આપે છે. કારણ કે, સુરત જ નહીં પરંતુ વિદેશોમાં પણ ઘારીની વિશેષ માંગ હોય છે. ઇન્કમટેક્સ વિભાગે દરેક , ચંદની પડવા ઉપર મીઠાઈની દુકાને દરોડા પાડયા હોય તેવો વર્ષો જૂનો ઈતિહાસ છે.

November Night : Adelaide Crapsey : : Autumn Poems : :

**Beautiful Fall Time** : Thetall trees with red foliage : A view from back behind of a cute girl with yellow jacket and pink hat walking down the outdoor suburban street in Autumn. ” : : The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break from the trees
**And fall …”**

” November Night ” By an American Poetess Adelaide Crapsey is the cinquain ( 5 lines long , usually in rhyme of ABABB or ABAAB or five-line unrhymed stanza form, ) modelled on the Japanese haiku. Crapsey has not set any rhyme in this poem. A number of her cinquains touch upon autumnal themes, and ‘November Night’ is the finest of these. Better , we call it as ” Fall Poem” : During the Fall , the leaves being covered in frost and crumbling from the branches ” break from the trees”in the quiet of “fall” and become sad. That’s why there is a “faint dry sound , like steps of passing ghosts,” : : However , the trees do not die. Actually , as science has revealed, the trees shed off their trees necessarily in order to struggling to saving energy to remain alive. The readers have been asked to listen to the sound of the walking ghost. The dying leaves are a memento mori : that’s a reminder ( as a death head ) of the mortality of everything , right for the plant life as well as humans and other living beings.; the simile linking them to ghostly footsteps only intensifies this. : : Crapsey lived in New York all her life and died at the age of 36 on account of Tuberculosis. The cinquain thus offers a steady progression in beats 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 in first four lines , but in the 5 Th line dropped to 1 beat. thus followed by a sudden retreat in the last line. As they say The cinquain is always destined to shrink away to nothing.
