November Sunshine.

Topics: classic

O affluent Sun, unwilling to abate      Thy bounteous hospitality benign,     Whenas we deemed the banquet o'er, thy great      Gold flagon brims again with amber wine;     Whenas we thought t' have seen on plain and hill      Thy euthanasia in October's haze,     The blessing of thy light, unstinted still,      Irradiates the drear November days.     Naught can discourage thee, O thurifer      Of gladness to the else benighted face     Of the misfeatured earth; fit minister      Of Him whose love illumines every place,     Who pours His mercy forth without demur      Over the sins and sorrows of our race.
