A Poem for the Month of October

This is one of my favorite poems that I've ever learned and it's for the month of October. The verses I wrote are just 4 out of 8 and I don't know the other 4.

October's Bright Blue Weather
by Helen Hunt Jackson

O 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,
But redder still on old stone walls
Are the leaves of the woodbine twining
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!
