Excerpt from The Autograph Birthday Book for Young Folks: Twelve Original Month Poems by Leading American Poets, Selected Day-Verses From All the Poets
Here are pleasant lines for your special Birth days; and for each day, which, just the same, begins a new year for you. There is not a word of sadness nor discouragement in them. It is for 'you to go forward bravely, happily and hopefully making the world a better and more cheerful place just for your being in it. If you will only have it so. These messages will help you to do it; and to make your own lives noble, useful and pure; to love nature and all simple things; to show kindness to others, and to dumb creatures; to be wise and good and unselfish; to keep from wrong doing; to be sweet and sincere girls, growing up to the best womanhood to be true and honorable boys, growing up to worthy manhood.
