Both the painting and the written description depict a scene where both sides of the conflict seem completely confused as to the real reason for what it turned out to be a deadly confrontation.
The written account elaborates somewhat methodically the actions that led, step by step to the escalation of what originally was nothing but an argument between a soldier or sentry and a robe maker. The perennial curiosity of the nearby masses and the somewhat well established intransigence of law enforcement individuals clashed drastically and led to a tragic result that could've been easily avoided if cooler heads had prevailed. The depiction of the man in charge of the soldiers as a man not fit for the job seems to confirm the fact that a more disciplined superior would've been able to restrain his forces until the situation or issue at stake was clarified among the quarreling parties.
Finally, the painting only depicts the firing of the lined up soldiers against a revolting crowd on the other side but provides no clues as to what was the reason that led to the moment being depicted when the bayonets are being fired at short range in a firing squad like manner.
In "To Autumn," John Keat is using an accent, hence the "hath," "thee," "oft," and "thy." Susan Hartley Swett on the other hand isn't using a specific "accent." She is only describing July, not making any emphasis on an accent. In "To Autumn," John Keat is using an upbeat tone, vividly describing the reds and oranges or autumn, whereas in "July," Susan Hartley Swett is using a more mellow tone. As here, quoted from "July," 'Underneath petals pink till the night stars wink At the sunset in the sky, It's July.' Notice how soft her language is here. And quoted from "To Autumn," 'Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cider-press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours.' See his more upbeat description of this season, and his impatience as well (Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours). In comparison, though, both are vividly describing with extremely descriptive language and style. You can literally picture yourself in their scenarios, under the soft stars in warm July, or feeling the crispness of Autumn.
