CHARM FOR NOVEMBER-BORN CHILD

WHO FIRST COMES TO THIS WORLD BELOW,
WITH DREAR NOVEMBER FOG AND SNOW,
SHOULD PRIZE THE TOPAZ AMBER HUE,
EMBLEM OF FRIENDS AND LOVERS TRUE.

Submitter comment: THIS LITTLE VERSE SERVES AS BOTH A LUCK CHARM AND A
GENTLE REMINDER OF THE BIRTHSTONE FOR ANY CHILD BORN
IN NOVEMBER.
