November: Thomas Hood

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 travelling at all--no locomotion,
No inkling of the way--no notion--
'No go'--by land or ocean--
No mail--no post--
No news from any foreign coast.

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!


Summary: In this poem, ‘November’, the poet Thomas Hood describes the bleakness of a November. A heavy fog obscures everything: the sun, the moon, the steeples, the roadways, the parks, even the faces of people on the streets. Travel close down because of the fog. As a result, there are no mail deliveries and no ships arriving with news from foreign countries. Visitors stay away because the autumn has stripped the leaves from the trees, killed the flowers and fruits, and banished birds, bees, and butterflies. There is nothing left to cheer those venturing through the city.
