| O suns and skies and flowers of June | A |
| Count all your boasts together | B |
| Love loveth best of all the year | L |

Eileen Peregoff: Cannot forget this poem each year when October roll around. I memorized it in the 4th grade and love it still. I am 91 years old but still can appreciate beauty, both outside my winder and written on paper
Mary Jones: Teacher made us memorize this poem in 1958 - 3rd grade. Some of the language was a little over our heads then but the beauty of the poem has stuck with me all these years. It truly is lovely; I still remember it perfectly.
