Unmissed But By His Dogs And By

O Winter! Ruler Of The Inverted Year, . . . I Crown Thee King Of Intimate Delights, Fireside Enjoyments, Home-born Happiness, And All The Comforts That The Lowly Roof Of Undisturbed Retirement, And The Hours Of Long Uninterrupted Evening, Know.

But, Oh, Thou Bounteous Giver Of All Good, Thou Art, Of All Thy Gifts, Thyself Thy Crown!

...so Let Us Welcome Peaceful Evening In.

Where Thou Art Gone, Adieus And Farewells Are A Sound Unknown.

The Spirit Breathes Upon The Word And Brings The Truth To Sight.
