| The second stanza uses four personifications to describe autumn and harvest-time. 1. The Granary Keeper 2. The Reaper 3. The Gleaner 4. The Cider Press Operator This stanza begins to allude to the idea of death by describing the laziness of the end of autumn...she is slowly dying. Her hair is messy, she's careless, and drowsy.
