October's Bright Blue Weather
by Helen Hunt JacksonO suns and skies and clouds of June
And flowers of June together
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather When on the ground red apples lie,
Like piles of jewels shining, When comrades seek sweet country haunts
In two by twos together,
And count like misers hour by hour
October's bright blue weather
O suns and skies and flowers of June
Count all your boasts together,
But ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather!
