The poem "To The Fringed Gentian" by William Cullen Bryant is about death. The poem is written using metaphors, for example, stanza one, "Thou blossom bright with autumn dew,/And colored with the heavenâ€™s blue,/That openest when the quiet light/Succeeds the keen and frosty night." (1-2) uses seasons for the reader to interpret the topic is death.
