Saturday's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
Autumn, by Richard Chernevix Trench

[...]
To whisper in the rose's ear
That all her beauty is no more;

And bid her own the faith how vain,
Which spring to her so lately swore.

(Sorry, I accidentally posted a picture of Thomas Skillings, supposed friend of "John Dunne."

Good find, another obscure poet in the spotlight.

There are hundreds of people like Trench (clerics who also wrote poetry) back in the 17th-19th centuries. Becoming a priest was the easiest path for someone with literary ambitions. Trench had a long and successful career, making his way up to archbishop of the (anglican) Church of Ireland.

This isn't a great poem, by any means, but it's part of a set of four he wrote, on the four seasons, which gives it more weight. I plan to post the other three over the next year.

Thanks again for the information on this poet, George.
