The Harvest Moon by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Harvest Moon Annotated

It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes
&nbsp And roofs of villages, on woodland crests
&nbsp And their aerial neighborhoods of nests
&nbsp Deserted, on the curtained window-panes
Of rooms where children sleep, on country lanes
&nbsp And harvest-fields, its mystic splendor rests!
&nbsp Gone are the birds that were our summer guests,
&nbsp With the last sheaves return the laboring wains!
All things are symbols: the external shows
&nbsp Of Nature have their image in the mind,
&nbsp As flowers and fruits and falling of the leaves;
The song-birds leave us at the summer's close,
&nbsp Only the empty nests are left behind,
&nbsp And pipings of the quail among the sheaves.
