DecemberBy William B. Tappan Farewell, December! cheerless as thou art,Arrayed in gloom, thou hast for me no smile;Thou canst not whisper pleasure to this heart,Thy aspect cannot life’s sad ills beguile.O’er thee, the sombre child of Winter, stern,Nature is weeping in funereal gloom;Cheerless the trophies that adorn thy urn;Cold are the rites that consecrate thyContinue reading “December William B Tappan : : December Poems : : Months Poems : :”

December : : By Henry G. Hewlett : : An old man’s life, dim, colorless and cold,Is like the earth and sky December shows.The barest joys of sense are all he knows:Hope that erewhile made their fruition bold,Now soars beyond. If one sun-glint of gold,Rifts in the dense grey firmament disclose,Earth has enough. ‘Mid purpleContinue reading “December : Henry G. Hewlett : : December Poems : : Months Poems : :”

December By Christopher Pearce Cranch ( 1813 – 1892 ) No more the scarlet maples flash and burn Their beacon-fires from hilltop and from plain;The meadow-grasses and the woodland fern In the bleak woods lie withered once again. The trees stand bare, and bare each stony scar Upon the cliffs; half frozen glide the rills;TheContinue reading “December : Christopher Pearce Cranch : : December Poems : : Months Poems : :”

Decemberby Rebecca Hey As human life begins and ends with woe, 1So doth the year with darkness and with storm. 2Mute is each sound, and vanish’d each fair form 3That wont to cheer us; yet a sacred glow— 4A moral beauty,—to which Autumn’s show, 5Or Spring’s sweet blandishments, or 6 Summer’s bloom, Are but vainContinue reading “December : Rebecca Hey : : December Poems : : Months Poems : :”

December by Joseph D. Herron Child of the grand old winter,December floateth by;And the ground without is bare and whiteAs the moon in the cloudless sky. The wind blows cold and dreary,Across the whitened plain;And we see the oaks with their branches bare,Through the frost on the window pane. But within where the yule-log’s burning,EachContinue reading “December : Joseph D. Herron : : December Poems : Months Poems : :”
