See there marches Orion

See there marches Orion
   With Sirius close at his feet
Tarrying not long in the air
   To begin the midnight hunt.

His quickened breath congeals –
   His boots crunch the fallen snow –
His eyes attempt to discern
   Between tree and furtive shadow.

Mark the occasion and time
   Of this harvest moon's fair
And note the dog's primal talent
   For smelling blood and fear

Not to bring down a mighty elk
   To quarter and tan its hide –
What they instead come upon
   Is Aries in a clearing field.
