SEPTEMBER, by                    
First Line: The goldenrod is yellow
Last Line: And autumn's best of cheer
Subject(s): Autumn;seasons; Fall


The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;
The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook;
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes' sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies --
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer.
