Classic Poem

O CTOBER is a pleasant time
Though violets are far away.
Around the fire at even chime
October is a pleasant time,
And falling blythely in its prime
Your birthday makes the season gay.
October is a pleasant time
Though violets are far away.

Love's messages ring through the year
And birthday voices give them speech.
With happy music, sweet and clear
Love's messages ring through the year.
With friendly greeting, kindly cheer,
And all the meanings love may teach,
Love's messages ring through the year
And birthday voices give them speech.

You know what daring words may dwell
Among the things a year may say.
When all your kindred wish you well
You know what daring words may dwell
In some one's heart as in a cell
Imprisoned till a festal day.
You know what daring words may dwell
Among the things a year may say.
