Explore "Drouth in Autumn" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ Gnarled acorn-oaks against a west / Of copper, cavernous with fire; / A wind of frost that gives no rest / To such lean leaves as haunt the brier, / And hide the cricket's vibrant wire.
/ Sear, shivering shocks, and stubble blurred / With bramble-blots of dull maroon; / And creekless hills whereon no herd / Finds pasture, and whereo'er the loon / Flies, haggard as the rainless moon.
