Poet Analysis

First Line: HAIL, KIND SEPTEMBER, FRIEND WHOSE GRACE
Last Line: THE FERVENT FIELDS THAT KNEW THEE NEAR.
Subject(s): SEASONS; SEPTEMBER; SKY;
Hail, kind September, friend whose grace
Renews the bland year's bounteous face
With largess given of corn and wine
Through many a land that laughs with love
Of thee and all the heaven above,
More fruitful found than all save thine
Whose skies fulfil with strenuous cheer
The fervent fields that knew thee near.
