The Gray Song of November

A poem by Gwendolyn Brooks

Art: November's Song by Corinne Vale

Music: Frost and Gray by Elara Vance

I shall not sing a May song.
A May song should be gay.
I'll wait until November
And sing a song of gray.

I'll wait until November
That is the time for me.
I'll go out in the frosty dark
And sing most terribly.

And all the little people
Will stare at me and say,
'That is the Crazy Woman
Who would not sing in May.'
