Like an autumn wind, a chill on the bone And the shadow drags night across the sky To see in the gut what is blind to the eyes Seek council in the angle of the rain
You must work with the acre you are given And read the signs of your days
Barren sands favor no plow To all life's work there is a season The water at your feet, the rich black earth The fire in your head
You must work with the acre you are given And read the signs of your days
When the last golden shank hangs down Like the old horns of the moon If it rains on the long blasting gaze (?) The killing frost will bite down hard
You must work with the acre you are given And read the signs of your days
