Show transcript
Keats’ poem is an ode ‘To Autumn’ - a celebration of the penultimate season of the year.
The poem celebrates the bountiful and fruitful nature of the season of the harvest.
Arguably, the poem is a metaphor for human mortality.
In the poem, autumn could represent the later years of a person’s life - when their life begins to wane.
Keats wrote this poem perhaps as a way of coming to terms with his imminent death.
