The group of lines in this excerpt that illustrates the music of autumn is: "And often like a scythe the grain-hook keen; Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep/Drows'd with the fume of poppies." These lines evoke the gentle, rhythmic sounds of the autumn harvest, with the imagery of the grain-hook slicing through the crops and the drowsy, dreamlike quality of the poppies.
