Septembersmilet, den lyse himmel, små hvide skyer i tåget vrimmel, de nøgne marker i gult og grønt, og solen, solen! Hvor er her skønt! Septemberstormen i drøn om huset i nat og mørke, et bål er suset, og alt forsvinder og farer hen - farvel, farvel! Og vi ses igen. Og atter sank der et år i graven fra sidste år, da jeg gik i haven og så det blegne og blive frø - ja, tiden kortes, til jeg skal dø. Septembermorgen, hvor alt er stille, små blomster vugger så morgenmilde i lune vindpust, som var det vår! På gensyn, venner, til næste år.
