No Brigadier throughout the Year

No Brigadier throughout the Year
So civic as the Jay --
A Neighbor and a Warrior too
With shrill felicity
Pursuing Winds that censure us
A Febuary Day,
The Brother of the Universe
Was never blown away --
The Snow and he are intimate --
I've often seen them play
When Heaven looked upon us all
With such severity
I felt apology were due
To an insulted sky
Whose pompous frown was Nutriment
To their Temerity --
Pillow of this daring Head
Is pungent Evergreens --
His Larder -- terse and Militant --
Unknown -- refreshing things --
His Character -- a Tonic --
His Future -- a Dispute --
Unfair an Immortality
That leaves this Neighbor out --
