Thomas Campion (1567-1620) was an English composer, physician, and poet. I found this poem at poetryfoundation.org.
Now Winter Nights Enlarge by Thomas Campion
Now winter nights enlarge
The number of their hours;
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.

A Square for the Season
Now, near the Solstice,
we turn on bright lights
and give gifts. Oh, Sun,
please shorten our nights
with your quick return.
Season's Greetings
to mathematicians, to poets, and to all who inspire them--
from JoAnne Growney.
