Explore "St. Martin's Summer" by John Greenleaf Whittier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This name in some parts of Europe is given to the season we call Indian Summer, in honor of the good St. Martin. The title of the poem was suggested by the fact that the day it refers to was the exact date of that set apart to the Saint, the 11th of November.
Though flowers have perished at the touch Of Frost, the early comer, I hail the season loved so much, The good St. Martin's summer.
