And carols roar’d with blithesome din;
If unmelodious was the song,
It was a hearty note, and strong.

The mullein-stalk its yellow stars have lost,
And the proud meadow-pink hangs down her head
Against earth’s chilly bosom, witched with frost.

Who said November’s face was grim?

I met her on the shore, so glad,
So smiling, I could kiss her feet!
There never was a month so sweet.
