Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

* * *

January cold desolate;
February all dripping wet;
March wind ranges;
April changes;
Birds sing in tune
To flowers of May,
And sunny June
Brings longest day;
In scorched July
The storm-clouds fly
Lightning-torn;
August bears corn,
September fruit;
In rough October
Earth must disrobe her;
Stars fall and shoot
In keen November;
And night is long
And cold is strong
In bleak December. 

1. In the Round Tower at Jhansi, June 8, 1857
2. Confluents
3. An End
4. A Dirge
5. Love from the North
