September Is the master month: the
overseer wise;
The finished work of summer time
must pass beneath mis- eyes,
And yield of vine and field and tree
must wait the final flush
Of beauty and perfection from Sep
TENDERS magic brush,
When earth and rain and sun and
man have done the best they
could
The great September comes along to
note the bad and good,
And nothing must be taken from
LIES workshop to be sold
Without the masters final touch of
red and brown and gold.
May paints prophetic pictures that
are beautiful 10 see,
They tell of glories yet to come and
harvests soon to be,
But not until September's brush has
touched all things that grow
With the splendor of perfection do the
fields and orchards glow.
What master hand viii touch my
life when comes its time to
close?
viii some September beautify my
field Of joys and woes?
Shall / be fitted at the last to dwell
among the stars
Or pass a soul imperfect still with
all its ugly scars?
