September quotes

But it's a long, long while From May to December; And the days grow short When you reach September.

-Anderson, Maxwell

Through breaks of the cedar and sycamore bowers Struggles the light that is love to the flowers; And, softer than slumber and sweeter than singing, The notes of the bell-birds are running and ringing. The silver-voiced bell-birds, the darlings of daytime! They sing in September their songs of the May-time.

-Kendall, Henry Clarence

Up from the meadows rich with corn, Clear in the cool September morn.

-Whittier,John Greenleaf
