october by paul laurence dunbar - richard mitchley lyrics
october is the treasurer of the year
and all the months pay bounty to her store;
the fields and orchards still their tribute bear
and fill her brimming coffers more and more
but she, with youthful lavishness
spends all her wealth in gaudy dress
and decks herself in garments bold
of scarlet, purple, red, and gold
she heedeth not how swift the hours fly
but smiles and sings her happy life along;
she only sees above a shining sky;
she only hears the breezеs’ voice in song
her garments trail thе woodlands through
and gather pearls of early dew
that sparkle, till the roguish sun
creeps up and steals them every one
but what cares she that jewels should be lost
when all of nature’s bounteous wealth is hers?
though princely fortunes may have been their cost
not one regret her calm demeanor stirs
whole*hearted, happy, careless, free
she lives her life out joyously
nor cares when frost stalks o’er her way
and turns her auburn locks to gray
