0:03:35 > 0:03:38And a naughty boy was he

0:03:38 > 0:03:42For nothing would he do but scribble poetry

0:03:43 > 0:03:46He took an ink stand in his hand

0:03:46 > 0:03:49And a pen, big as ten, in the other

0:03:58 > 0:04:01And away in a pother he ran

0:04:01 > 0:04:04To the mountains And fountains

0:04:04 > 0:04:06And ghostes And postes

0:04:06 > 0:04:09And witches And ditches

0:04:26 > 0:04:28To follow one's nose

0:04:28 > 0:04:30To the north!

0:04:43 > 0:04:47I love that poem. I don't think he was a naughty boy.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50He was just excited to explore the world.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54When that boy grew up, he became a really famous poet.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56He wrote many beautiful poems.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Would you like to hear the poem?

0:05:07 > 0:05:13It's by John Keats again and it's called To Autumn.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14Are you ready?

0:05:30 > 0:05:36Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun

0:05:40 > 0:05:44Conspiring with him how to load and bless

0:05:44 > 0:05:48With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run

0:05:51 > 0:05:55To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees

0:05:58 > 0:06:02And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core

0:06:05 > 0:06:09To swell the gourd and plump the hazel shells

0:06:09 > 0:06:12With a sweet kernel

0:06:16 > 0:06:19To set budding more

0:06:19 > 0:06:20And still more

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Later flowers for the bees

0:06:28 > 0:06:33Until they think warm days will never cease

0:06:33 > 0:06:38For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?

0:06:59 > 0:07:04Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find thee

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Sitting careless on a granary floor

0:07:08 > 0:07:12Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind

0:07:13 > 0:07:18Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Drows'd with the fume of poppies

0:07:21 > 0:07:24While thy hook spares the next swath

0:07:24 > 0:07:26And all its twined flowers

0:07:28 > 0:07:32And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep steady

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Thy laden head across a brook

0:07:35 > 0:07:41Or by a cyder-press, with patient look

0:07:41 > 0:07:48Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Where are the songs of Spring?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Aye, where are they?

0:08:12 > 0:08:17Think not of them, thou hast thy music too...

0:08:18 > 0:08:21SHEEP BLEAT

0:08:22 > 0:08:26And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn

0:08:26 > 0:08:29CRICKETS CHIRP

0:08:30 > 0:08:35Hedge-crickets sing and now with treble soft

0:08:37 > 0:08:41The redbreast whistles from the garden-croft...

0:08:41 > 0:08:43BIRDSONG

0:08:43 > 0:08:47And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04What a lovely poem.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09I love how the poet makes it sound as if autumn is a person.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Why don't you have a go at writing a poem?

0:09:17 > 0:09:23It could be about you or your garden, or even the seaside.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Anything! Go on, give it a go.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- BOTH:- Bye.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Magic Hands!

0:09:34 > 0:09:36# Just look at my magic

0:09:36 > 0:09:39# My magic hands

0:09:39 > 0:09:42# Make your fingers super duper. #

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Magic Hands!
