a poem called "September"

I memorized this when I was a kid, and I've had it in my head all month:

The goldenrod is yellow,
     The corn is turning brown.
The trees in apple orchards
     With fruit are bending down.

Well, the goldenrod is past yellow, the branches are almost breaking, and here's the corn all dry and crinkly:

Here's the rest of the poem, by Helen Jackson:

    The gentian's bluest fringes
        Are curling in the sun;
    In dusty pods the milkweed
        Its hidden silk has spun.

    The sedges flaunt their harvest,
        In every meadow nook;
    And asters by the brook-side
        Make asters in the brook,

    From dewy lanes at morning
        The grapes' sweet odors rise;
    At noon the roads all flutter
        With yellow butterflies.

    By all these lovely tokens
        September days are here,
    With summer's best of weather,
        And autumn's best of cheer.

    But none of all this beauty
        Which floods the earth and air
    Is unto me the secret
        Which makes September fair.

    'T is a thing which I remember;
        To name it thrills me yet:
    One day of one September
        I never can forget.
