November
No shade, no shine,
No butterflies, no bees,
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 comfortable feel in any member.
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees.
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, November!
~ Thomas Hood, British poet, humorist, practical joker.
