Snow Fields
The soft blown snow that fell five days ago
Crisp frozen now by these five frosty nights

The inane braying still abounds
when port is drunk and fables spill,
about the right of man to kill
an animal who, turning back,
stood proud and noble on the hill
and faced the crimson vermin pack.
