No sun � no moon!
No morn � no noon �
No dawn � no dusk � no proper time of day �
No sky � no earthly view �
No distance looking blue �
No road � no street � no �t�other side the way� �
No end to any Row �
No indications where the Crescents go �
No top to any steeple �
No recognitions of familiar people �
No courtesies for showing �em �
No knowing �em!
No travelling at all � no locomotion,
No inkling of the way � no notion �
�No go� � by land or ocean �
No mail � no post �
No news from any foreign coast �
No park � no ring � no afternoon gentility �
No company � no nobility �
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!
