Excerpt from Months and Moods: A Fifteen-Year Calendar; Versified and Diversified What do they here in this hour of our sorrow, Uniformed all so gay? Summer is waning - dies on the morrow, Morrow, September's day. What do they here? Why, 'tis Nature's intending, When passes summer's bier, That crowned as with sunshine from bright sky descending Ever the escort appear. So the golden-rod blooms when the summer is mellow, Heigh-ho, the shortening day! In trappings of green with pompons of yellow.
