From Harvest to January - ZaunköniG - 22.05.2007 From Harvest to January The hay has long been built into the stack And now the grain; anon the hunter's moon Shall wax and wane in cooler skies, and soon Again re-orb'd, speed on her wonted track, To spend her snowy light upon the rack Of dark November, while her brother Sun Shall get up later for his eight-hours' run In that cold section of the Zodiac: Far from the Lion, from the Virgin far! Then onward through the last dim month shall go The two great lights, to where the kalendar Splits the mid-winter; and the feathery snow Ushering another spring, with falling flakes Shall nurse the soil for next year's scythes and rakes. |
