| Here's lyric for September,
| Best OF all months TO rememhei
| Month when summer breeZeS tcIl
What has happened wood and dell,
| OF the joys the year has brought
And the changes she has wrought,
| She has turned the verdurc req
| IN the blue sky overhead,
She the harvest moon has hung,
| Like a silver boat among
Shoals of stars-bright jewels set
| In the earth's blue COronet,
She has brought the orchards fruit
| 10 repay the robins flute
Which has gladdened half the year
| With music. liquid clear,
| And she makes the meadow grass
catch the sunbeamS as they pass,
Till the autumn's floor is rolled
| With a fragrant cloth Of gold.
