FROM HARVEST TO JANUARY - ZaunköniG - 30.12.2010
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.
