Does the end of "Ode to Autumn" provide any resolution?

As the other, excellent answer to this question suggests, John Keats' "To Autumn" ends with a description of the cyclical nature of life and the seasons. However, Keats also provides resolution in this final stanza by asserting that even autumn, a season of endings, has a touching beauty all it's own.

As the other, excellent answer to this question suggests, John Keats' "To Autumn" ends with a description of the cyclical nature of life and the seasons. However, Keats also provides resolution in this final stanza by asserting that even autumn, a season of endings, has a touching beauty all it's own. Indeed, in addressing autumn in this final stanza, Keats says "thou hast thy music too" (24), and he backs up this claim by subsequently describing a scene of great beauty:

While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day, 

   And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; 

Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn 

   Among the river sallows, borne aloft 

      Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; 

And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; 

   Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft 

   The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft; 

      And gathering swallows twitter in the skies. (25-33)

Though the natural beauty here is somewhat melancholy, it's beautiful nonetheless. Keats describes a sunset with immense virtuosity, and then illustrates a peaceful, bucolic scene populated by lambs, crickets, and singing birds. As such, the poem asserts that there is beauty even in the ending of a season and a year. More specifically, Keats is asserting the importance of endings by presenting autumn in a dignified fashion. In this way, he turns a classically melancholy season into something positive and gives resolution to the poem.
