| September the maid with the swift silver feet | A |

| Sweet month with a mouth that is made of a rose | F |

| In spots where the harp of the evening glows | F |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Attuned by her fingers | C |

| nbsp nbsp nbsp She gave to the hours | C |
| And then we may kiss her and suffer her face | N |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp To sleep with the flowers | C |
| - | |
| Oh season of changes of shadow and shine | O |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp September the splendid | A |
| My song hath no music to mingle with thine | O |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp And its burden is ended | A |
| But thou being born of the winds and the sun | H |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp By mountain by river | J |
| Mayst lighten and listen and loiter and run | H |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp With thy voices for ever | J |
