OCTOBER'S SUN, by                    
First Line: O liberal sun in fair october's sky
Last Line: Redeems the soul least worth to one most fair.
Subject(s): Light; October; Sun


O liberal Sun in fair October's sky,
How just and sure thine impartiality!
The topmost trees that lift their heads on high
Are richly crowned of thee, and lovingly
The lone and ugly things that men decry,
Thou turn'st to gold by selfsame alchemy!

Ah, let me serve my day as faithfully!
Withholding naught that I with him may share
Who hath a need, nor give reluctantly
Lest he not worthy be; but let me bear
True witness to that Light whose ministry
Redeems the soul least worth to one most fair.
