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

The Autumn is old; The sere leaves are flying; He hath gather'd up gold, And now he is dying;- Old age, begin sighing!

Thomas Hood

No sun, no moon, no morn, no noon, No dawn, no dusk, no proper time of day,...... No road, no street, no t' other side the way,...... No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no buds.

Thomas Hood

For here I leave my second leg,
And the Forty-second Foot!

Thomas Hood

Boughs are daily rifled
By the gusty thieves,
And the book of Nature
Getteth short of leaves.

Thomas Hood

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! No! Seem'd washing his hands with invisible soap In imperceptible water.
