oh, sweet October...
spare thy frost on yonder grapes
our sweet summer wine        -   Opie Houston
tantalizing fare of warmth
and spectacle of wonder

oh, sweet October...
spare thy frost on yonder grapes
our sweet summer wine         -   Opie Houston
when succulent blessings do
shower down on the faithful

oh, sweet October...
spare thy frost on yonder grapes
our sweet summer wine         -   Opie Houston
for young and old to transform 
to fun revelers in time

    These are just so in line with Opie's words.. I particularly loved the second.
