Opus For 4 Lyrics

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 fom any foreign coast -
No Park - no Ring - no afternoon gentility -
        No company - no nobility -
No warmth, no cheerfilness, no healthful ease,
  No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
  No fruits, no flow'rs, no leaves, no birds,
        November!
 
   -Thomas Hood, 1842.
