  1. (continued from previous page)
    Married when bees o'er May blossoms flit,
    discontent at your board will sit.
    Married in month of roses June, Life will be one long honeymoon.
    Married in July, with flowers ablaze, bitter sweet memories in after days.
    Married in August heat and drowse, a faithful lover you'll find your spouse.
    Married in golden September's glow, smooth and serene your life will flow.
    Married in leaves of October thin, toil and hardship for you begin.
    Married in veils of November mist, fortune your wedding day ring has kissed.
    Married in days of December cheer, Love star shines brighter from year to year.
