September.

Topics: classic

Oh, soon the forests all will boast         A crown of red and gold;     A purple haze will circle round         The mountains dim and old;     Afar the hills, now green and fair,         Their sombre robes will wear;     A mist-like veil will dim the sun         And linger on the air.     Already seems the earth half sad         The summer-child is dead;     And who can tell the dreams gone by,         The tales of life unsaid?     September is a glowing time;         A month of happy hours;     Yet in its crimson heart lies hid         The frost that kills the flowers.     Life, too, may feel the glory near         And wear its crown of gold;     Yet are the snows not nearest then?         Are hearts not growing old?     September is the prime of life,         The glory of the year;     Yet when the leaves begin to fall         The winter must be near.
