And where the rose is winter

Our dreams to nobler skies
Where raptures more enduring
Grow golden to our eyes;
We gaze beyond the present
And wonder where you hide,
With all the sweet and pleasant
Contentments by your side.
Someday 20 not tomorrow

BY magic shall our sorrow
From out our souls be gone;

October.
BY Blaine G. Bigler

By Blaine G. Bigler
The hills are wrapped in purple
haze,
In woods the nuts are falling;
The leaves are red on sunny ways;
The winds are softly calling.
The frost has painted all the trees
And touched the withered
grasses;
October calls in every breeze
AS on it swiftly passes.
October days are bright and blue; ;
October days are smiling;
October calls to me and you
With her bright face beguiling.

Little Boy Blue, come blow your
horn,
Your pushmobile's near the field

Where many an ear awaits to hear
The foot of your horn as you draw

Watch how the husky fellows obey
When your horn blows--shucks,
how they stalk away.
