November
No sun – no moon!
No moon – no noon –
No dawn – no dusk – no proper time of day –
No sky – no earthly view –
No distance – no street – no “t’other side of way” –
No end to any row –
No indications where the Crescents go –
No top to any steeple –
No recognition of familiar people!
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member –
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruit, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
No – vember.
