"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 comfortable feel in any member - 
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, 
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! - 
November!




An abbreviated form of a poem by Thomas Hood (1799 - 1845), as heard in 'Opus 4' by The Art of Noise
