If I Could Make September Stay

Summer retreats now

Green kingdom's end

Why can't I make

Time suspend?

The hummingbird would hover by me

And never fly away

If only I could

Make September stay

In every blossom

She hides a song

Sunshine be mine

All year long

The hummingbird would hum beside me

Her journey South delay

If only I could

Make September stay

If I could just confuse the moon then I

Could make September stay

Or imitate the warbler's tune then I

Could make September stay
