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 from any foreign coast --
No Park -- no Ring -- no afternoon gentility --
No company -- no nobility --
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!
Thomas Hood
