The Farmer and the Night

 

The night was spiritually lit; milky,

Aha such a beautiful night!

But, still not lucky

To dazzle in a couple's love delight.

 

 

Perhaps, alone with its misty milky light,

Hey Look! A farmer is there,

Irrigating his wheatlings amidst frosty bite,—

Ritual holiest by this agrestic seer.

 

And water here or there shines

To a chilly chide by the moon,

While, milky loneliness pines

For its brave son a harvest boon.

 

His feet numb in freezing water,

Amidst 'warmly sleepers' he seems a martyr.
