Autumn by T. E. Hulme   A touch of cold in the Autumn night I walked abroad, And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge Like a red-faced farmer. I did not stop to speak, but nodded; And round about were the wistful stars With white faces like town children.  Today's poem is in the public domain. About this poem: The first of only six poems published in Hulme's lifetime, "Autumn" (published in 1909) is considered one of the first Imagist poems. September 22, 2012 Born on September 16, 1883, T. E. Hulme was an English critic and poet who contributed to Ezra Pound's Imagist movement.  Related Poems Autumn by Amy Lowell Autumn Movement by Carl Sandburg The Wild Swans at Coole by W. B.
