On An Apple-Ripe September Morning : : By Patrick Kavanagh : County Monaghan : : : : : : On an apple-ripe September morningThrough the mist-chill fields I wentWith a pitch-fork on my shoulderLess for use than for devilment.

September MidnightBY SARA TEASDALELyric night of the lingering Indian Summer,Shadowy fields that are scentless but full of singing,Never a bird, but the passionless chant of insects,Ceaseless, insistent. 4 The grasshopper’s horn, and far-off, high in the maples,The wheel of a locust leisurely grinding the silenceUnder a moon waning and worn, broken,Tired with summer. 8 LetContinue reading “September Midnight : Sara Teasdale : : September Poems : : Months Poems : :”

SEPTEMBER by: Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885) HE golden-rod is yellow;The corn is turning brown;The trees in apple orchardsWith fruit are bending down. 4 The gentian’s bluest fringesAre curling in the sun;In dusty pods the milkweedIts hidden silk has spun. 8 The sedges flaunt their harvest,In every meadow nook;And asters by the brook-sideMake asters in theContinue reading “September : Helen Hunt Jackson : : September Poems : : Months Poems : :”

September, 1819BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTHDeparting summer hath assumed 1An aspect tenderly illumed,The gentlest look of spring;That calls from yonder leafy shadeUnfaded, yet prepared to fade,A timely carolling. 6 No faint and hesitating trill, 7Such tribute as to winter chillThe lonely redbreast pays!Clear, loud, and lively is the din,From social warblers gathering inTheir harvest of sweet lays.Continue reading “September, 1819 : William Wordsworth : : September Poems : : Months Poems : :”
