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 inking 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!
