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!

But evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of heart!

Gold! Gold! Gold! Bright and yellow, hard and cold.

But who would rush at a benighted man, and give him two black eyes for being blind?
