January cold desolate; br February all dripping wet; br March wind ranges; br April changes; br Birds sing in tune br To flowers of May, br And sunny June br Brings longest day; br In scorched July br The storm-clouds fly br Lightning-torn; br August bears corn, br September fruit; br In rough October br Earth must disrobe her; br Stars fall and shoot br In keen November; br And night is long br And cold is strong br In bleak December.
