Saturday Poetry Corner: September

 



"For our momentary, light distress, this passing trouble, is producing for us an
eternal weight of glory, a fullness beyond all measure, surpassing all comparisons,
a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness."
(2 Corinthians 4:17)

Lo! a ripe sheaf of many golden days

Gleaned by the year in autumn's harvest ways,

With here and there, blood-tinted as an ember,

Some crimson poppy of a late delight

Atoning in its splendor for the flight

Of summer blooms and joys

This is September.


"September"
Lucy Maude Montgomery
(1874-1942)
Canadian writer and poet
Author of the "Anne of Green Gables" series.
