Poem by Thomas Hood

No!

		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!
