I O the clammy cold November, And the winter white and dead, And the terror dumb with stupor, And the sky a sheet of lead; And events that came resounding With the cry that _All was lost_, Like the thunder cracks of massy ice In intensity of frost   Bursting one upon another Through the horror of the calm.
