In Autumn is a collection of poems by Madison Julius Cawein, published in 1905. The poems explore the beauty of the autumn season, and the feelings of nostalgia and longing that come with it. The poems are divided into four sections: “The Coming of Autumn,” “The Splendor of Autumn,” “The Passing of Autumn,” and “The Memory of Autumn.” In each section, Cawein uses vivid imagery to capture the sights, sounds, and smells of the season. He also reflects on the bittersweet nature of autumn, as it marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter. The poems in this collection are a celebration of the beauty of the season, and a reminder of the joys and sorrows that come with it.
