Listen! the wind is rising,
and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings,
now for October eves!

Another quote about Seasons

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
