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

—Whittier,John Greenleaf

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

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