THERE is something in the autumn that is native to my blood– Touch of manner, hint of mood; And my heart is like a rhyme, With the yellow and the purple and the crimson keeping time.

About This Quote

This poem is about the beauty of autumn, specifically the colors of fall. The author's heart is "like a rhyme" - the last stanza begins with "the yellow and the purple and the crimson." The word "rhyme" is another way of saying rhythm. Rhymes are beautiful because they have a definite melody that keeps time with the words. The author is letting us know how much he loves the way autumn makes him feel.
