STANZA 1.
The poem is addressed to Autumn by name, just as a prayer would begin by invoking or naming the god it addresses, and then carries on to use a description rather than Autumn's proper name.
"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness".
Keats then uses a metaphor to name autumn again, this time adding an element of personification by calling the season the maturing sun's "close bosom-friend" and attributing to these friends the capacity of conspiring together.
"Conspiring with him how to load and bless".
Autumn and the sun make so many flowers bud late in the season that the bees have become confused:.
"Until they think warm days will never cease,.
For summer has o"er-brimmed their clammy cells".
