Quote #13

The Sun whispers, O remember! You have but thirty days to run, O sweet September!

More from Francis Turner Palgrave

  1. Follow, O follow!-and we follow
  2. Kiss and cling to them, kiss and leave them, Bright and beguiling:- Bright and beguiling, as She who glances Along the shore and the meadow…
  3. In the hollow Silver voices ripple and cry Follow, O follow!
  4. There is a garden where lilies And roses are side by side; And all day between them in silence The silken butterflies glide.
  5. With the cry I wake;-and around me The mother and child at her feet Breathe peace in even whispers; And the night falls heavy and sweet.
  6. I may not enter the garden, Though I know the road thereto; And morn by morn to the gateway I see the children go.
  7. Earth all one tomb lies round me, Domed with an iron sky: And God Himself in His power, God cannot save me! I cry.
  8. They bring back light on their faces; But they cannot bring back to me What the lilies say to the roses, Or the songs of the butterflies be.
