September


SEPTEMBER
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes' sweet odors rise
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer

But none of all this beauty
Which floods the earth and air
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.

Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885)
