JANUARY.

January, bleak and drear,
First arrival Of the year,
Named for Janus-Janus who,
Fable says, has faces two;
Pray, is that the reason why
Yours is such a tickle sky?
First you smile, and 10 US bring
Dreams Of the returning spring;
Then, without a sign, you frown,
And the snowfakes hurry down,
Making all the landscape white,
Just as il it blanched with fright
You obey no word or law;
Now you freeze and then you thaw
Teasing all the brooks that run
With the hope Of constant sun,
Claiming all their feet at last
Firm In icy fetters fast.
Month Of all months most contrary
Sweet and bitter January!
