\nThe Harvester<\/strong><\/p>\n
\na little at first, just ahead of the rest<\/p>\n
\nit draws in a shade
\na cold and a rustling
\neverything sleeping, drying<\/p>\n
\nhis March drawing blood from flower
\nherb from hand<\/p>\n
\nhoof and horn
\ngiggling and dribbling<\/p>\n
\nand snow in his mouth<\/p>\n
