"Golden-Rod" is a short poem that turns a humble roadside flower into a glowing torch on a quiet, lonely way. In three brief stanzas, the speaker watches the golden-rod blaze through autumn, leading the other flowers toward their wintry rest. The mood is gentle and bright, tinged with the hush of the season's end. The poem treats the flower as a cheerful guide, head held high, lighting up the meadows for everyone who passes.
