'Yellow Eye O Yellow Eye
Yellow as the yellow Moon.
Out of the Black Hole of the North
The Ice Age is flying!
The Moon is flying low-
The Moon looms, hunting her Hare-
The Moon drops down, big with frost
And hungry as the end of the world.'

"St Agnes' Eve - Ah, bitter chill it was!
The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold;
The hare limp'd trembling through the frozen grass,
And silent was the flock in woolly fold."
