September

"Summer has come and passed: The innocent can never last; wake me up when September ends."

"O sweet September, thy first breezes bring The dry leaf's rustle and the squirrel's laughter, The cool fresh air whence health and vigor spring And promise of exceeding joy hereafter."

"Do you remember, the 21st night of September? Love was changing the minds of pretenders, while chasing the clouds away."

"It was the third of September: That day, I'll always remember. Yes I will, because that was the day that my daddy died."

"The morrow was a bright September morn; The earth was beautiful as if new-born; There was that nameless splendor everywhere, That wild exhilaration in the air, Which makes the passers in the city street Congratulate each other as they meet."

"Come out 'tis now September, The hunter's moon's begun, And through the wheaten stubble Is heard the frequent gun."

"The sultry summer past, September comes, Soft twilight of the soft-declining year. All mildness, soothing loneliness and peace; The fading season ere the falling come."
