By her who in "January" was born
No gem save "garnets" shall be worn
They will ensure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity.

The "February" born shall find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they, the "amethyst" will wear.

By her who in "March" was born
No gem save "bloodstone" shall be worn
They will ensure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity.

She who from "April" dates her years,
"diamonds" shall wear,
lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow.

Who first beholds the light of day
In spring's sweet, flower month of "May"
And wears an "emerald" all her life
Shall be a loved and a loving wife.

By her who in "June" was born
No gem save "pearls" shall be worn

True friendship and fidelity.

The gleaming "ruby" should adorn,
All those who in "July" are born,
For thus they'll be exempt and free,
From lover's doubts and anxiety.

Wear a "peridot" or for thee,
No conjugal fidelity,
The "August" born without this stone,
`Tis said, must live unloved; alone.

A maiden born when autumn leaves
Are rustling in "September's" breeze,
A "sapphire" on her brow should bind;
To bring her joy and peace of mind.

"October's" child is born for woe,
And life's vicissitudes must know,
But lay an "opal" on her breast,
And hope will lull those woes to rest.

Who first comes to this world below
In dreary "November's" fog and snow,
Should prize the "topaz amber hue",
Emblem of friends and lovers true.
~ ~ ~
If cold "December" gave you birth
The month of snow and ice and mirth
Place on your hand a "turquoise blue";
Success will bless whatever you do.
