ghizela rowe - november findings, november 1862 by janet hamilton lyrics

Loading...

thou frigid tyrant, dark and stern november!
we shrink before thee, and shall long remember
thy levin fires, untimely thunder volleys
that in dread tones rebuked our crimes and follies

thy scowling eyes through veiling cloud are glaring
on the pale face of nature rudely baring
her shivering form her leafy garments strewing
o’er field and wood+discoloured heaps of ruin

earth’s blasted treasures shrunkеn, blackened lie
on many a fiеld beneath thy cruel eye;
red grave+yards swell o’er many little heaps+
her buried treasures the pale mother weeps

the factory wheels+too oft the wheels of life+
stand still; and pining wants and woes are rife;
on the cold hearth, and by the naked bed
gaunt misery cowering sits+half+warmed, half+fed

friend jonathan is just as fierce and spiteful+
the braggadocio would be quite delightful+
but loss of blood, and jaundiced bile, poor fellow
have made him giddy, and all objects yellow

thou drear november! in thy reign we saw
a press+blown clamour overcrow the law+
a secret conclave trample justice down
beneath the shelter of victoria’s crown
but now let rigours of the season move
to generous sympathy and deeds of love:
so that the poor have cause long to remember
with gratitude even thee, dark stern november
