Plural form of autumn (from Latin autumnus). Simple regular plural, but often used metaphorically in poetry to indicate aging or the passage of time.
In poetry, 'autumns' is mysteriously melancholic—'I have seen twenty autumns pass' sounds sadder than 'I am twenty years old,' because it emphasizes the repetition of decline and loss.
