TSLC Songs of Fall

It’s officially Autumn! Let TSLC’s Fall Playlist merrily tap your eardrums with sounds of leaves changing color, fires starting to crackle, and the static, cozy pull of a sweater o’er the head.

Fall-Website-BannerWhere 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,

And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;

Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn

Among the river sallows, borne aloft

Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;

And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;

Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft

The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;

And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

– From “To Autumn”

John Keates (1820)
