6 Dec: "The Night Is Freezing Fast" by A. E. Housman

The Night Is Freezing Fast

The night is freezing fast,
    To-morrow comes December;
        And winterfalls of old
Are with me from the past;
    And chiefly I remember
        How Dick would hate the cold.

Fall, winter, fall; for he,
    Prompt hand and headpiece clever,
        Has woven a winter robe,
And made of earth and sea
    His overcoat for ever,
        And wears the turning globe.

A.E. Housman

  1. Who is Dick? Is this an allusion to something I don't know?
