Bereft

There is the person who is very lonely and fearful. They don't have much time because the seasons are changing almost instantly and fear lies ahead. The fear of fall and being lonley again another season. Implies that fall is something to be afraid of with the line "Change like to a deeper roar." All memories of summer are fading. "Summer was past and day was past." The tone of the poem is anger, frusteration, and some sort of fear. "Something sinister in the tone", is showing that fall is like a sin. This person seems like he has some sort of religous views, because it talks about being "sinister"and the last line in the poem is, "Word I had no one left but God." The speaker could either be outside watching teh mystery of the chaning seasons or inside observing the sunny skies turn grey. It is most like outside though, since in the middle of the poem it states, "Blindly struck at me knees and missed." It is talking about the wind, meaning that it is not fall yet, but the more the wind comes the more summer and the season of happiness and calirity disapeers.
