Let us dance the Dark Morris on the first day of Ember
When the old year is stealing away in the night
And sleep in the snow `til the new one awakens
And dance in the sun on the first day of May.

Dance again for the weddings and midsummer's passing
And then for the sake of Sektober's new ale
`Til the bright leaves of autumn are withered and faded
Then silently step the Dark Morris again.

. . . . . . . . . Makepeace Thomas Bounder


This gloomy suggestion of impending winter is inspired by being driven to my car for the weekend cigar for the first time since spring.
The umbrella on the deck is furled and cold November rain arrives a little early. Bugger.
