SEPTEMBER

The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown.
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;
The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook.
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's days are here,
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer.
