“By all these lovely tokens
September days are here
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.”

I read this on someone's blog the other day, but don't understand the first sentence.
Can anyone please help me out?
Many many thanks.

It's not a sentence. It is a line from a poem. To read the entire poem search for the writer Helen Hunt Jackson on the Internet. For a faster result copy the lines of the poem and paste them into a search engine.
