September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel this way

In September in the rain
It's nice to remember
the fire of September that made us mellow.

With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

September 1, 1939
by W.H. Auden
I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night.
Oooo, Mo-Skee. Even after being abused in the press, that poem still trembles in the skin.
