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 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 fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
November!
