It has been so lovely and cool here the past few days that I feel completely revitalized. All kinds of doll ideas are popping into my head...now if I can just find the time to make them! And so for your reading pleasure, and because this is after all my birth month, a couple of September poems...Enjoy!
Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling.
- William Wordsworth, September
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 dusky 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.
- Helen Hunt Jackson , September

ReplyDeleteHappy birth month, fellow librarian-in-retirement! My mom is a September baby, too. Thanks for posting the Jackson poem, as it was unfamilar to me.
ReplyDeleteLove your autumn babies...our air conditioning is still on, sadly.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on autumn, it is my favorite time of year, the colours, smells and the calm cool morning air. I've just found your blog, and am absolutely enchanted by your stunning work!
