November's Lament
Last night before I went to bed
I thought I heard “the hawk” a’callin’
Crying out that autumn’s fled
And soon I’d see the snow a’fallin’
All through the night the windows rattling
Proclaiming nature’s forces battling
And when I woke I saw firsthand
Through frosty panes a wonderland
Of snow-draped trees and fields a’glimmer
Autumn’s colors now draped in white
Revealed by morning’s dawning light
Made landscapes prance and shimmer
Tree’s shadows drooped with chilled defiance
Delaying Winter’s restful slumber
Till Spring awakens sleeping giants
And begins anew Spring’s untold wonder
