See Winter comes to rule the varied year; Sullen and sad with all his rising train; Vapours and clouds and storms. Be these our theme These, that exalt the soul to solemn thought And heavenly musing! Thomson The verses are the opening of James Thomson's poem Winter, published in 1726 and later in his collection The seasons, first published in 1730, revised 1744
