“This world has suns, but they are overcast;
This world has sweets, but they're of ling'ring bloom;
Life still expects, and empty falls at last;
Warm Hope on tiptoe drops into the tomb.”

Parched with the dust and sun;

As this will weary overmuch.
Sit we down, and hear rehearse
The marvels of the sweet-souled verse”

When I think all hope has gone
When I walk along High Holborn

“The sun rises every day. What is to love? Lock the sun in a box. Force the sun to overcome adversity in order to rise. Then we will cheer! I will often admire beautiful sunrise, but I will never consider the sun a champion for having risen.”

“Can we see thee, and not remember
Thy sun-brown cheek and hair sun-golden,
O sweet September?”

Francis Turner Palgrave (1824–1897) English poet and critic

The Golden Land
Context: Kiss and cling to them, kiss and leave them,
Bright and beguiling:—
Bright and beguiling, as She who glances
Along the shore and the meadows along,
And sings for heart's delight, and dances
Crowned with apples, and ruddy, and strong:—
Can we see thee, and not remember
Thy sun-brown cheek and hair sun-golden,
O sweet September?
