My+Sorrow

"My Sorrow" is an emotion that is being personified throughout the poem to have a feminized conotation. Autumn is the "down-time" month where nothing is really going on and everything in nature is breaking down. The speaker is feeling this sorrow because s/he wants to see the beauty in all of it. In every other season you at least have something to look foward to whether it be flowers blooming, snow falling, sun shining, or anything inspirational, but there is nothing like that in autumn which leaves the speaker filled with sorrow and disappointment. Something that is to be noted is that further down in the poem sorrow "vexes [the speaker] for reason why" s/he can not enjoy this month. Makes the reader wonder if something happened to the speaker that makes sorrow a guest during the month of November.
