- = "My November Guest" =
-
- My Sorrow, when she's here with me,
- Thinks these dark days of Autumn rain
- Are beautiful as days can be;
- She loves the bare, the withered tree;
- She walks the sodden pasture lane.
-
- Her Pleasure will not let me stay.
- She talks and I am fain to list:
- She's glad the birds are gone away,
- She's glad her simple worsted gray
- Is silver now with clinging mist.
-
- The desolate, deserted trees,
- The faded earth, the heavy sky,
- The beauties she so truly sees,
- She thinks I have no eye for these,
- And vexes me for reason why.
-
- Not yesterday I learned to know
- The loe of bare November days
- before the coming of the snow,
- But it were vain to tell her so,
- And they are better for her praise.
