John Atkinson Grimshaw“A November Morning” (1883)

 
S treet is deserted save for single sign of life
morning hangs heavy in chill november
as autumn tumbles towards winter

S he feels the losing of the light
the ever growing darkness
the advance of the cold
the time of endings
death’s due vigil
deep silence
dormant
sad
