September

 











September Gurls Song by The Bangles

 

September girlsDo so muchAnd for so long'Till we touchedI love you, boyNever mindI've been cryingAll the time
December boys got it badDecember boys got it bad
September girlsI don't know whyHow can I denyWhat's insideEven though IKeep awayThey will loveAll our days

Wake Me Up When September Ends

 

Summer has come and passedThe innocent can never lastWake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to passSeven years has gone so fastWake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain againFalling from the starsDrenched in my pain againBecoming who we are
As my memory restsBut never forgets what I lostWake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells againLike we did when spring beganWake me up when September ends


Ah, September!

 Ah, September! 

You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul ... 

but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October



Sunday September 7th Full Moon - Corn Moon - Harvest Moon

 

  • Sunday September 7Corn Moon 
  • Tuesday October 7Hunters Moon Harvest Moon - Supermoon 
  • Wednesday November 5Beaver Moon - Supermoon 
  • Sunday December 4Cold Moon - Supermoon 


 the Harvest Moon is always the full Moon that occurs closest to the September equinox. Most years, it falls in September; every three years, it falls in October. (Astronomical seasons do not match up with the lunar month.) If the Harvest Moon occurs in October, the September full Moon is usually called the Corn Moon instead. Similarly, the Hunter’s Moon always follows the Harvest Moon. 

In 2025 the autumnal equinox will occur on 22 September at 18.20 GMT (19.20 BST).


There will be three supermoons in 2025, occurring on the following dates: 
  • Tuesday October 7The Hunter's Moon
  • Wednesday November 5The Beaver Moon, which will be the closest full moon to Earth since 2019
  • Thursday December 4The Cold Moon





 Ah, September! 

You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul ... 

but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October





 

And then the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep, and autumn awakened


 

It was a lovely afternoon—such an afternoon as only September can produce when summer has stolen back for one more day of dream and glamour



Autumn

 


Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.


Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.


For man, Autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.


How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.


 everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.


Life is a dream, and Autumn is a dream within a dream!


Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.


The most beautiful carpet is the carpet made of autumn leaves!



 

By all these lovely tokens, 

September days are here. 

With summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer



Heartbeat Song by George Michael

 

Another summerAnother vacation is overA September morning,With the sun and the smell of the clover
Down by the gateWe sit and we watch all our friends go byAnd pretend we don't hear the bell,That rings through the summer sky.

Autumn Haiku

 

The cheerful-chirping cricket
contends gray autumn's gay,
contemptuous of frost
—Matsuo Basho,


Illuminated by the harvest moon
smoke is caught creeping
across the water ...
—Hattori Ransetsu,


An empty road
lonelier than abandonment:
this autumn evening
—Matsuo Basho,


A solitary crow
clings to a leafless branch:
autumn twilight
—Matsuo Basho,


Brief autumn breeze ...
she always wanted to pluck
the reddest roses
—Issa,


Taming the rage
of an unrelenting sun—
autumn breeze.
—Basho,


The sun sets,
relentlessly red,
yet autumn’s in the wind.
—Basho,


As autumn deepens,
a butterfly sips
chrysanthemum dew.
—Basho,


This strange flower
investigated by butterflies and birds:
the autumn sky
—Matsuo Basho


Cooling the pitiless sun’s
bright red flames:
autumn wind.
—Matsuo Basho


Saying farewell to others
while being told farewell:
departing autumn.
—Matsuo Basho


Traveling this road alone:
autumn evening.
—Matsuo Basho


Thin from its journey
and not yet recovered:
late harvest moon.
—Matsuo Basho


This world—
to what may we compare it?
To autumn fields
lying darkening at dusk
illuminated by lightning flashes.
—Minamoto no Shitago


Sick of this autumn migration
in dreams I drift
over flowerless fields ...
―Matsuo Basho 


Denied transformation
into a butterfly,
autumn worsens for the worm
—Matsuo Basho


Picking autumn plums
my wrinkled hands
once again grow fragrant
―Yosa Buson


A crow has settled
on a naked branch―
autumn nightfall
―Basho


Sick of its autumn migration
my spirit drifts
over wilted fields ...
―Matsuo Basho


The first morning of autumn:
the mirror I investigate
reflects my father’s face
―Masaoka Shiki


Brittle autumn leaves
crumble to dust
in the freezing wind.
—Takao


Dewdrops beading blades of grass
have so little time to shine before dawn;
let the autumn wind not rush too quickly through the field!
—Eihei Dogen Kigen



September

 

Another summerAnother vacation is overA September morning,With the sun and the smell of the clover
Down by the gateWe sit and we watch all our friends go byAnd pretend we don't hear the bell,That rings through the summer sky.

Summer has come and passedThe innocent can never lastWake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to passSeven years has gone so fastWake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells againLike we did when spring beganWake me up when September ends

Do you rememberThe 21st night of September?Love was changin' the minds of pretendersWhile chasin' the clouds away
Our hearts were ringin'In the key that our souls were singin'As we danced in the night, rememberHow the stars stole the night away, oh, yeah

Holdin' hands with your heart to see youOnly blue talk and love, rememberHow we knew love was here to stay
Now DecemberFound the love that we shared in SeptemberOnly blue talk and love, rememberThe true love we share today
Hey, hey, heyBa-dee-ya, say, do you remember?Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in SeptemberBa-dee-ya, never was a cloudy dayThere was aBa-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin' in SeptemberBa-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), golden dreams were shiny days
The bell was ringin', oh, ohOur souls were singin'Do you remember never a cloudy day? Yow

-------------------------------------------

September girlsDo so muchAnd for so long'Till we touchedI love you, boyNever mindI've been cryingAll the time
December boys got it badDecember boys got it bad

By all these lovely tokens, 

September days are here. 

With summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer



----------------------------------



September tries its best to have us forget summer




There is a clarity about September ... the sun seems brighter, the sky more blue, the white clouds take on marvelous shapes; the moon is a wonderful apparition, rising gold, cooling to silver; and the stars are so big




September is the other January.




September has come, it is hers whose vitality leaps in the autumn, whose nature prefers trees without leaves and a fire in the fireplace




Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul ... but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October





September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn






We know that in September, we will wander through warm winds of summer's wreckage


It was a lovely afternoon—such an afternoon as only September can produce when summer has stolen back for one more day of dream and glamour




I bear the Scales, where hang in equipoise 
The night and day; and whenunto my lips 
I put my trumpet, with its stress and noise 
Fly the white clouds like tattered sails of ships; 
The tree-tops lash the air with sounding whips; 
Southward the clamorous sea-fowl wing their flight; 
The hedges are all red with haws and hips, 
The Hunter's Moon reigns empress of the night.




There is a time in late September when the leaves are still green and the days are still warm, 

but somehow you know that it is all about to end,

 as if summer was holding its breath,

 and when it let it out again, it would be autumn







All the months are crude experiments, out of which the perfect September is made




End Of Summer

 

Summer came and left without a warning 


The candle burns at both ends
And summer heat can make you restless as the wind
So wild and free but seasons change
Where will you be when summer ends


Another summerAnother vacation is overA September morning,With the sun and the smell of the clover


Why did summer go so quickly, was it something that you said?


When you knew that it was over you were suddenly aware

That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of her hair





We know that in September, we will wander through warm winds of summer's wreckage


It was a lovely afternoon—such an afternoon as only September can produce when summer has stolen back for one more day of dream and glamour


There is a time in late September when the leaves are still green and the days are still warm, 

but somehow you know that it is all about to end,

 as if summer was holding its breath,

 and when it let it out again, it would be autumn





the best of the summer gone, 

and the new fall not yet born. 

The odd uneven time.



September tries its best to have us forget summer


in memory of golden summer hours
and whispers of a summer sea.


By all these lovely tokens, 

September days are here. 

With summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer






 

Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul ... but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October
