Symphony in Yellow
Symphony in Yellow - meaning Summary
City Seen Through Yellow
The poem sketches a compact cityscape saturated with yellow, linking vehicles, barges, fog, leaves and the river into a single visual impression. Its speaker moves from street to quay to riverside, observing how color unifies disparate scenes and conveys an autumnal, slightly melancholic stillness. The short stanzas offer a concentrated, painterly snapshot that emphasizes mood and perception over narrative or action.
Read Complete AnalysesAn omnibus across the bridge Crawls like a yellow butterfly, And, here and there a passer-by Shows like a little restless midge. Big barges full of yellow hay Are moored against the shadowy wharf, And, like a yellow silken scarf, The thick fog hangs along the quay. The yellow leaves begin to fade And flutter from the temple elms, And at my feet the pale green Thames Lies like a rod of rippled jade.
