Ay, Where are they?, Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—, While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,, And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;, Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn, Among the river sallows, borne aloft, Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;, And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;, Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft, The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;, And gathering swallows twitter in the skies., , Word Power of Ode to Autumn, 1) Abroad = विदे श, 2 ) Achieve=प्राप्त करना, 3 ) Acquaintance=पररचय, 4) Ambition=महत्िाकाांक्षा, 5) Asleep=सोया हुआ, 6) Barred=रुका हुआ, 7) Bend =झुकना, 8) Bleat = ममममयाना, 9) Bloom = खिलना
