by Robert Frost
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
To-morrow’s wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Read the poem in its entirety while you listen to Frost read it.
Thanks, Tricia - that is a lovely poem. Every time I read something by Frost, I think "I need to memorize that!"

ReplyDeleteA perfect October poem. And thanks for the link to Robert Frost Out loud. I am trying to listen more poets reading their own work. It enriches the experience so much.
ReplyDeleteTricia,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful October poem by Frost. Thanks for sharing it.
What a beautiful and inspiring blog! I'm not a teacher,but aren't all mothers teachers to some degree? I found your blog because I love Miss Rumphius. It's a story that never fails to make me cry when I read to my children. Thanks for the beautiful Fall poetry!
ReplyDeleteI love to read Frost in the fall, too. "After Apple-Picking" is one of my all-time favorites.
ReplyDeleteTricia, What a gorgeous poem about my favorite season. My favorite lines were:
ReplyDeleteAt noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away;
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Yum.
