Stars look down
Through falling snow
Watching leafless trees
As they hide sleeping animals.
He watches as well,
His belt all that is easily seen.
His place as a hunter,
And his tragic story
Well known by the sleepers.
His story passed through generations.
He watches as a warrior
To keep their sleeping families safe
On any lonely winter night.
(Orion in December by Charles Burchfield)
