The sultry summer past, September comes,
Soft twilight of the soft-declining year.
All mildness, soothing loneliness and peace,
The fading season ere the falling come.

More quotes by Carlos Wilcox

Rouse to some work of high and holy love,
And thou an angel's happiness shall know.

Time well employed is Satan's deadliest foe:
It leaves no opening for the lurking fiend.

Be thy best thoughts to work divine addressed;
Do something — do it soon — will all thy might;
An angel's wing would droop if long at rest,
And God Himself inactive were no longer blessed.

'Tis infamy to die and not be missed.

It is infamy to die, and not be missed.
