November, 
Bryant, 
ET one smile more, departing, distant sun! 
One mellow smile through the soft vapory air, 
Hre, o’er the frozen earth, the loud winds run, 
Or snows are sifted o’er the meadows bare; 
One smile on the brown hills and naked trees, 
And the dark rocks whose Summer wreaths are cast, 
And the blue Gentian flower, that, in the breeze, 
Nods lonely, of her beauteous race the last. 
Yet a few sunny rays, in which the bee 
Shall murmur by the hedge that skirts the way, 
The cricket chirp upon the russet lea, 
And man delight to linger in thy ray. 
Yet one rich smile, and we will try to bear 
The piercing Winter frost, and winds, and darkened air.
