“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?

“Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight,
Dawns the sweet consciousness, — I am with Thee.”

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896) Abolitionist, author

Reported in James Freeman Clarke, Book of Worship for the Congregation and the Home (1852), p. 431.

“With thee, sweet Hope! resides the heav'nly light,
That pours remotest rapture on the sight”

Thomas Campbell (1777–1844) British writer

Part I, lines 22 - 25
Pleasures of Hope (1799)
Context: With thee, sweet Hope! resides the heav'nly light,
That pours remotest rapture on the sight:
Thine is the charm of life's bewilder'd way.
That calls each slumb'ring passion into play.
