among the yellow leaves
a dead frog.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly, I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Leonore –
For the rare and radiant maiden who the angels name Lenore –
Nameless here for evermore.
- Edgar Allan Poe, 1809-1849, The Raven

at last the wind in December
lashing the old trees with rain
unseen rain racing along the tiles
under the moon
wind rising and falling
wind with many clouds

Thy branches ne’er remember
Their green felicity.

In cold and dark December,
Families around the world
All gather to remember,
With presents and with parties,
With feasting and with fun,

That’s no December sky!
Surely ’tis June
Holds now her state on high
Queen of the noon.

Crowning the hill,
Clear-cut in perfect air,
Warn us that still
Winter, the aged chief,
Mighty in power,
Exiles the tender leaf,
Exiles the flower.
- Robert Fuller Murray (1863-1894), A December Day

In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

Than we were in September,’
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

Come, come thou bleak December wind,
And blow the dry leaves from the tree!
Flash, like a Love-thought, thro’me, Death
And take a Life that wearies me.
