"'The sweeping blast, the sky o'ercast,'
The joyless winter day
Let others fear, to me more dear
Than all the pride of May:
The tempest's howl, it soothes my soul,
My griefs it seems to join;
The leafless trees my fancy please,
Their fate resembles mine!"
-- from "Winter, A Dirge" by
Robert Burns (b. 1759-01-25, d. 1796-07-21)
