Excerpts from October’s Bright Blue Weather
Helen Hunt Jackson  

O suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October’s bright blue weather;  

When springs run low, and on the brooks,
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sing noiseless in the hush
Of woods, for winter waiting;  

When comrades seek sweet country haunts,
By twos and twos together,
And count like misers, hour by hour
October’s bright blue weather;

 
Favorite time of year is near.

Enjoy...
