November

No sun - no moon - no morn - no noon,
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day,
No warmth - no cheerfulness - no healthful ease,
No road, no street, no t'other side the way,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
November!

Thomas Hood (1799-1845)
