A November Night by Sara Teasdale

A November Night There!  See the line of lights,A chain of stars down either side the street —Why can't you lift the chain and give it to me,A necklace for my throat?  I'd twist it roundAnd you could play with it.  You smile at meAs though I were a little dreamy...

November By Emily Dickinson

Besides the autumn poets sing,A few prosaic daysA little this side of the snowAnd that side of the haze.   A few incisive mornings,A few ascetic eyes, —Gone Mr. Bryant's golden-rod,And Mr. Thomson's sheaves.   Still is the bustle in the brook,Sealed are the...

On December 21 by Amos Russel Wells

Now let the weather do its worst,
With frost and sleet and blowing,
Rage like a beldam wild and curst,
And have its fill of snowing.
Now let the ice in savage vise
Grip meadow, brook, and branches,
Down from the north pour winter forth
In roaring avalanches.

December By Drew Osmond

Never Have I felt a December
So cold, so lonely.
The walk along the lake,
That changed a fate
The stumble in the snow,
I didn’t let go.
