The Hunters in the Snow lyrics

by

William Carlos Williams


The over-all picture is winter
icy mountains
in the background
the return

from the hunt it is toward evening
from the left
sturdy hunters lead in

their pack
the inn-sign
hanging from a
broken hinge is a stag a crucifix

between his antlers
the cold
inn yard is
deserted but for a huge bonfire

that flares wind-driven tended by
women who cluster
about it
to the right beyond

the hill is a pattern of skaters

Brueghel the painter
concerned with it all has chosen

a winter-struck bush for his
foreground to
complete the picture
