      "How like a winter hath my absence been",
      "From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!",
      "What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!",
      "What old December's bareness everywhere!",
      "And yet this time removed was summer's time;",
      "The teeming autumn, big with rich increase,",
      "Bearing the wanton burden of the prime,",
      "Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease:",
      "Yet this abundant issue seem'd to me",
      "But hope of orphans, and unfather'd fruit;",
      "For summer and his pleasures wait on thee,",
      "And, thou away, the very birds are mute:",
      "  Or, if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer,",
      "  That leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near."
