PROF ANDY: IN GRADE SCHOOL,CIRCA 1940, WE SANG THIS POEM AS A SONG.
WEBSTER GRADE SCHOOL 1- 8, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA
I HAD FORGOTTEN ALL THE WORDS EXCEPT FOR "THE GENTIANS BLUEST FRINGES ARE CURLING IN THE SUN"
AND THEY WORKED IN TH SEARCH.
i STILL REMEMBER THE TUNE.
ANYBODY ELSE RELATE TO THAT?
Pamela Wolosky Casper: This is one of my favorite poems. I learned to recite it when I was a child in third grade, about 59 years ago. I have never forgotten this poem and love reciting it in autumn. My memories of my mother who was born in September are lovely. I fondly remember her helping me to learn how to recite this poem.
Mary Ann Myers : We had many of those poems in grade school and memorized them.
