Autumn by John Clare : Question & Answer with Explanation Class 9 || WBBSE

The poem "Autumn" begins with a focus on the scenery around the omniscient individual taking in his surroundings. The grass, springs, and stones all show evidence of the extremely high temperatures that day. Grassland is dry, the dirt is cracked, and plants are wilting under the scorching glare of the sun. Hill-tops, rivers, and the ground all glisten like molten gold, reflecting the eternal nature of the landscape.
