Welcome September ...

...

"September days are here,

By  all these lovely tokens,  September days are here.

With summer's best of weather,

 And autumn's best of cheer.

But none of all this beauty 

Which floods the earth and air

Is unto me the secret

Which make September fair.

"T is a thing which I remember;

To name it thrills me yet:

One day of one September

I never can forget."  

Helen Hunt Jackson
