goneaheadO when,
Huntress,
with naked foot beating the snow
all night,
shall we see at last on the summit,
like Boreas
and the lion
rousing himself from sleep,
the rising sun?
for in that light
the contest will be decided,
and the new-fledged young men
will row their opponents from the cliff top
and, like the poppy beside the sheaf,
each life will be harvested in the golden light spontaneously,
silently.
