Come Fourth October

C-ome fourth October, H-appiness you shall feel; A-side from a million mirth, R-apture will bring a thrill. I-n fourth October morn L-ight will brighten the day; Y-our moment will be filled with N-othing but the sun-ray. D-awn in fourth October O-ffers one better clime; M-isty morning has turned I-nto clear and haze-less time. N-oon in fourth October, G-ray clouds don't gather; O-nly the blue lanes remain, as the rugged wind is over. M-uch pleasure you'll take, A-s you rise from slumber; R-ound of applause will sound, C-ome fourth October. I-t will be a great occasion that one will remember; A-mount of joy is large, come fourth October.

You paint a stark contrast here quite well, Bernard. Now vs. The Future..."fourth October" makes me feel yearning, too. The repetition is well-placed, and you've inspired me to try my hand at an acrostic-style poem.
