November is waiting without. With sighing and tears
She is brooding over the infinite years.
Of the gray drifting mist she has fashioned her robe,
And broidered it o'er with mysterious fears.

November is sailing the sea. With frosted hand
The wild haunted waves she hurls on the sand.
In the October sky she has hung her banner,
And has swung it low on the sombre land.

November is stripping the trees. With branches bare
She is etching upon the autumnal air.
Of the pine and cypress she has builded her house
And, weeping through days and nights of despair,
With sere brown leaves each desolate wall
She has hung and draped, and has filled it all
With shadows and gleams
From dead summer dreams.
