'26 I think that a vineyard in winter Is a very gloomy sight. Crumbly leaves lie rotting in dirty brown heaps; The crusty ground is bare and colorless: The vines are colorless, too. One day, As I ran through the vineyard An old gnarled vine stuck out a long, forked prong, And tripped me; Now I regard the winter vineyard as my foe; Indeed, the long rows Resemble a petrified army In regular battle array. With bayonets ready to stab. So I don’t like the vineyard in winter [Twenty- lx]
