Paths they hewed fleeing
Among their companions,
Cowards felled brave men
Through fear.

Over the meadow
Writhe like a snake in
The fire,

Drawing together,
Twisting and breaking
In pieces,

Disgorging

Its bowels;

Into the forest

Spilled they,

Fled they all of them

The sun in that hour.
Mid-day was almost
As autumn’s midnight,
Home went the cattle,
